Many of the API arguments must exactly match some list of valid values, which is prone to change over time, and I can’t find a list of valid values. For example, if I want to create a new droplet, I need to create a request like this:
{
"name": "example.com",
"region": "nyc3",
"size": "512mb",
"image": "ubuntu-14-04-x64",
"ssh_keys": null,
"backups": false,
"ipv6": true,
"user_data": null,
"private_networking": null
}
So for “image” I can see that “ubuntu-14-04-x64” is one of the valid slugs, but how can I find a list of the other valid possibilities?

I figured it out. For each parameter (region, size, image, etc) you can query those parameters to get all. So for example, in .NET, do this:
var regions = client.Regions.GetAll ().Result;
var images = client.Images.GetAll ().Result;
var sizes = client.Sizes.GetAll ().Result;
