DataTables API methods not available

Question

I'm trying to set up an extremely basic DataTables example. After initializing the table with DataTables, why are some of the API methods not available? Am I missing something as far as how it's supposed to be used?

Here's a simple jsfiddle where I initialize the table, and then try to retrieve the first row. However, it doesn't look the like row() method exists:

Here's the javascript in the fiddle:

$(document).ready(function(){
   var myDataTable = $('#myTable').dataTable();
   console.log(myDataTable.row(0));
});

Developer console shows the following error referring to the console.log line:

Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function

Any help here is much appreciated.
