About this Guide

This Guide uses some terminology that may have a different meaning in Salesforce or other installed packages. For example:

  • Insert: Adds a record to the table.
  • Modify: Changes a record. If the record does not exist then it is created.
  • Update: Changes a record.
  • GET, POST, and PATCH are the equivalent of non-REST API commands Read, Create, and Update.
Note:
The URI is case-sensitive.

Note:
Use "-" as a separator in date formats. Date format should be yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss. For example, for December 13, 2016 use "2016-12-13" or "2016-12-13 00:00:00".

Note:

You can access the REST Explorer by logging in to Salesforce Developer Workbench and browsing to Utilities | Rest Explorer.
