# Calling BP Graph Functions
How to call a function declared in the Blueprint Editor
For Blueprint functions created in the Blueprint Editor we can use `call_method()` to access them via Python:
```python
asset_instance.call_method("function")
```
For functions with inputs we can use either the args or kwargs parameters:
It also works with Blueprint functions that have returns:
```python
value = asset_instance.call_method("function_with_return")
```
call\_method also works with custom events:
{% hint style="danger" %} Note: An asset loaded using `unreal.load_asset()` does not have direct access to call methods defined in the Blueprint Graph, we will need to get either its default object or an active instance of the BP:
```python
asset_instance = unreal.new_object(asset.generated_class())
# or
default_object = unreal.get_default_object(asset.generated_class())
```
{% endhint %}
