Hi All,
I signed up for the developer trial edition.

I created a developer sandbox instance.

I've read from the docs that a developer account by default has REST API access. But when I try to make a query using the REST API i get the following error: 
  "message" : "The REST API is not enabled for this Organization.",
  "errorCode" : "API_DISABLED_FOR_ORG"

what am i doing wrong?

I've created a connected app and login was also successful.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.
