How do I know when to call a method via Class and when to use instance of the class in documentation ?

I am coming from Microsoft .Net world and in Visual Studio IDE, dot operator (IntelliSense) only shows functions depending on whether we are using dot operator on class or instance of the class. How do I make out from the documentation that the "downloadTaskWithURL" function needs to called from the instance of "NSURLSession" and not on "NSURLSession" class ? Thanks in advance

Never mind !! Figured it out.

Functions that are called at class level are preceded by "class" in the documentation
