REST (Representational State Transfer) API is a type of web service that allows you to interact with Salesforce from external systems.
In Salesforce, it enables you to access, create, update, or delete records using simple HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.
REST API is used in Salesforce to perform integration with other systems, such as third-party applications or websites. It provides a way for external applications to access Salesforce data in a programmatic way.
Some use cases for REST API in Salesforce include:
- Integrating Salesforce with external systems, such as a customer portal or partner community
- Building custom mobile or web applications that interact with Salesforce data
- Retrieving data from Salesforce for use in external reporting or analytics tools
