How to access Salesforce data through REST APIs unit?
In your custom views, you access Salesforce org data through the Salesforce API. Let’s take a closer look at how you call the Salesforce API in Mobile SDK Swift apps. To access Salesforce data, you send REST requests to Salesforce and receive the responses in your app.
How does the Salesforce mobile app use the API?
If the session is stale, the Salesforce mobile app uses the refresh token from its initial authorization to get an updated session. The Salesforce mobile app starts. To integrate an external web application with the Salesforce API, use the OAuth 2.0 web server flow.
How to access Salesforce APIs with OAuth assertion?
Salesforce doesn’t support the Client Credentials Grant method. A connected app can use a SAML assertion to request an OAuth access token to call Salesforce APIs. This flow provides an alternative for orgs that are currently using SAML to access Salesforce and want to access the web services API in the same way.
What can you do with the Salesforce AppExchange?
Listing an app within the Salesforce AppExchange will give you the ability to build your product directly into the Salesforce platform. For example, visualising your product’s data directly within a component in Salesforce.
How to access Salesforce data in your app?
When you’re ready to access Salesforce data in your app, you call Salesforce REST APIs. REST APIs, as a rule, are low-level enough that developers can access them manually through rudimentary network calls. However, you don’t have to do that—you have Mobile SDK to handle the messy grunt work for you.
Which is the factory method in Salesforce sendrequest?
In sendRequest (), the RestRequest.getRequestForQuery () factory method takes a SOQL string and wraps it in a RestRequest object. The advantage of using RestRequest factory methods is that the generated object is network-ready—it already knows the HTTP settings that the Salesforce server expects.
Do you need SDK to access REST APIs?
REST APIs, as a rule, are low-level enough that developers can access them manually through rudimentary network calls. However, you don’t have to do that—you have Mobile SDK to handle the messy grunt work for you. Here’s a summary of the classes that handle REST API calls.
