Pablo Roldan call apex method through API
Hi All,
I know that it's possible to call apex methods through the API or maybe something like that with executeAnonymous().
However, I am not really sure about that, so my question is if it's possible to call apex methods and get the result through the API or another way out salesforce?
If it's possible could you tell me how?
Thanks in advance.

So you would like to create your own application (in C#) which connects to the salesforce and gets or updates data.
Alright:
There are two ways for this.
One through the SOAP API and the other through the REST API.
In case of SOAP API, you will have to download the WSDL File. There are two WSDL's - Partner and Enterprise WSDL. Partner WSDL is kind of loose binding to the salesforce, so you can use the same app for multiple orgs. Enterprise WSDL is the opposite.
Once the WSDL is downloaded, you will add the wsdl as a reference in your .NET app.
Thats it. You now have access to the methods in apex.

You probably have to use an SOQL query.
Open your developer console and just type in your SOQL query in the query editor at the bottom.
A sample SOQL query would be like
Select ID, Name From Account LIMIT 10
Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying, although that is not the response which I was looking for.
I trying to execute Apex Methods in my project in C# and get the info into this. I don't try to make a SOQL through the API or in or out salesforce.

So close, although it's not exactly the thing that I wanted.
The only thing that I needed to know, after your response, was how I can execute an apex method from my .Net app. And I have found this website: http://whiterabbitservices.com/2011/04/01/calling-a-custom-salesforce-apex-web-service-from-c/
So, I have deduced that I need two WSDL, one it's the enterprise WSDL and the other is the Apex WSDL.
Now I'm going to try to create an app to see if that works. I will tell you.
If you see anything that it's wrong, please tell me.
Thanks in advance.
I have fixed it. I have used the wsdl from the apex class, and then import it to the project.
Finally, I have called the method which it's a webservice, and this give me the return of this method.
So, thank you so much for your help :)
