SFRestAPI Class Reference

Inherits from NSObject
Declared in SFRestAPI.h

Overview

Main class used to issue REST requests to the standard Force.com REST API. See the Force.com REST API Developer’s Guide for more information regarding the Force.com REST API.

We declare here a set of interfaces that are meant to be used by code running internally to SFRestAPI or close “friend” classes such as unit test helpers. You SHOULD NOT access these interfaces from application code. If you find yourself accessing properties or calling methods declared in this file from app code, you’re probably doing something wrong.

This category assists with creating SOQL and SOSL queries.

Example SOQL usage:

NSString *soqlQuery = [SFRestAPI SOQLQueryWithFields:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@“Id”, @“Name”, @“Company”, @“Status”, nil] sObject:@“Lead” whereClause:nil limit:10];

Example SOSL usage:

NSString *soslQuery = [SFRestAPI SOSLSearchWithSearchTerm:@“all of these will be escaped:~{]” objectScope:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@“WHERE isactive=true ORDER BY lastname asc limit 5” forKey:@“User”]];
