On success, it will return a true value. On failure, it will raise an exception. guid_exists $client->guid_exists('2f8519c6-24cf-11df-90b1-0018f34ec37c'); This method will check whether the given GUID is found on the metabase server. The GUID must be in lower-case, string form. It will return true or false. Note that a server error will also result in a false value. register $client->register; This method will submit the user credentials to the metabase server.
