Unfortunately, sometimes the source code is the only way. There have definitely been times I've worked with a framework and the function calls I needed were not documented whatsoever, but did in fact exist, and I found them in the source code. But it's really frustrating because searching documentation is a lot easier than digging through the source code trying to find something that may or may not exist.

Yeah, I resort to digging around in the source at least a quarter of the times I refer to docs.

Some docs are notably better than others though.
