I want to be able to retreive data from an actxserver API

h = actxserver('progid.Name.API.Extractor');
%Below is the data stream identifier within the API
%Go and get all the data for the passed ID
id = 12345
c = APIGetExtract(h, id);
%The below error is generated with this code
Undefined function 'APIGetExtract' for input arguments of type 'COM.progid_Name_API_Extractor'.

I would like to know the correct code to be able to retreive the data of id = 12345 from h above. The API is being recognized however I do not know the correct function to retrieve the specific data from the API.

It looks like APIGetExtract is not the correct name of the method. You should see the documentation about getting method information for a COM object [1].
