Access Sandbox meta data from a different Org

Hi There,

I want to access Metadata of a salesforce org (either developer or sandbox) from another salesforce org. I think I can use oAuth 2.0 to access it. Any thoughts on that? If it is oAuth, can someone guide me a place where I can start with?

Yeah, you can do the same thing and one thing wanted to clarify that App will never ask for Key/Secret it will only ask for UserName and Password you need to store the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret and then can use to connect any org which can be a brand new one.

Hope this helps, mark as best answer if this helps :)

Thanks,
Amit

Hi,

You can access Metadata of any Salesforce Org from any Other Org using password authentication OR OAuth 2.0.

Refer below link for more information.

Hi LMudi,
To Access metadata from one salesforce dev org to another salesforce dev org please check the below link.
When users request Salesforce data from within the external app (the consumer’s page), Salesforce authenticates the user. The authentication flow consists of several steps, dictated by the OAuth standard.Please check the below link Provided by Salesforce help document.
I hope it will be helpful.

Best Regards

Appriciate your help guys. The concern i have here is, everytime I need to have a connected App on the sandbox to access consumer ID and consumer Secrets right? So if the user wants to access a different sandbox or the production, he needs to create Connected Apps and have consumer ID/secret with him. Is there any practical way to address this scenario?
Amit Singh 1Amit Singh 1
No, user do not need to create connected apps again and again for every Sandbox instance. You only need to create once and then store them in your org after that it will only ask for Username and Password of Sandbox instance for which you wanted to access the data.,

Thanks,

Appriciate Amit. What you're saying is ask for it once, store it in my org (maybe on a custom setting) and use it again? What if I want to access totally new Org with sandboxes? Still maintain them sameway?

I will, absolutely this will make total sense. Apologies for taking your time.
To clarify the process am going to do, 1. I will create an Interface for User to Provide Username, Password, key/secret pair for the first time. 2. Store them in my org and everytime the same user tries to access, I can use stored key/secret values and so on. Am I correct?

Many Thanks,
Mudi
