API stopped allowing access to RecordType

Hello, sometime recently, it appears that the API has stopped allowing access to the RecordType entity. The error I'm seeing is:

 

"INVALID_TYPE: Name,Descripiton,IsActive from RecordType ^ ERROR at Row:1:Column:42 sObject type 'RecordType' is not supported. If you are attempting to use a custom object, be sure to append the '__c' after the entity name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names."

 

Can anyone help me out here?

 

Thanks.

For me it is working: SELECT Description,IsActive,Name FROM RecordType

 

17Related to SObject type = AccounttrueAccount
18Related to SObject type = ContacttrueContact
19Related to SObject type = LeadtrueLead
20Container for Account reportingtrueAccount

 

There is a misspell in your query:

Name,Descripiton,IsActive from RecordType

 

it should be Description

 

If I try it with your misspell  (SELECT Descripiton,IsActive,Name FROM RecordType) I get the same error ... so correct your query ;-)

 

NVALID_FIELD: 
SELECT Descripiton,IsActive,Name FROM RecordType
^
ERROR at Row:1:Column:8
No such column 'Descripiton' on entity 'RecordType'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.

Hi Dirk, Thanks for the reply!

 

I tried it with the correct spelling of Description and still get the same error. Do you know if there might be any other reason why this entity woludn't be returned? I don't even see RecordType when I describe global.

 

"INVALID_TYPE: Description,IsActive,Name from RecordType ^ ERROR at Row:1:Column:39 sObject type 'RecordType' is not supported. If you are attempting to use a custom object, be sure to append the '__c' after the entity name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names."

What edition is your org -> group, professional, enterprise, unlimited?

We're on professional. I can also verify that my same code *does* work on accounts with higher editions. This used to work for us in the recent past. I don't know exactly when it stopped, but I want to say within the last 10 days or so.

That is exactly the point recordtypes are supported in enterprise edition and above and not in professional edition!
