Insert Multiple records with Rest API

Hi,

 

Can we insert multiple records using the Rest API?

 

thanks.

Hi,

 

You can't insert multiple rows in a single call in the rest api, you need to use the bulk api.

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

Hi,

 

Thank you for your response. I knew the bulk API, but I just need to enter 2 or 3 records in a single call, and I need to get the result immediatly.

 

Thanks again.

is it possible???

Thanks in advance.

Hi, can someone from the developer team please let us know why this is not possible through the REST interface? The same functionality exists in the SOAP interface, but it is a pain to work with as every time an object is updated we have to generate and download the WSDL again before we can make updates to our programs.

Thanks.

You can insert multiple records with the REST API with composite request: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/dome_composite_junction_object.htm#topic-title

Or you can use the batch resource: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/dome_composite_batch.htm#topic-title
