Force.com REST API provides you with a powerful Web services API that you can use to interact with Force.com.
Each resource in REST API is a named URI that’s used with an HTTP method: HEAD, GET, POST, PATCH, or DELETE. All resources are accessed using a generic interface over HTTP with a base URI that follows your Force.com or Database.com URI. REST API supports authentication using OAuth 2.0 and supports both JSON and XML (JSON is the default).
To test the Salesforce Rest API. login to workbench. Navigate to utilities-> Rest Explorer and follow below examples to create/update/upsert/delete records.
Create a record:
Url:https://instance.salesforce.com/services/data/vNN.N/sobjects/sObject

ReplyDeleteCan you please provide some example to insert the list of records in Rest API
Hi Please use this example to insert bulk records. To insert bulk records you need to pass a array.
ReplyDelete[{
"Origin": "SMS Feedback",
"Subject": "134350/Feedback",
"Description": "Payment Type: Credit Card "
},{
"Origin": "SMS Feedback",
"Subject": "134350/Feedback",
"Description": "Payment Type: Credit Card "
}]
