Rest API

Question 1

• What operations are supported by Rest API from an integration perspective?

Answer 1

• Publish events to notify your Salesforce org
• Query data in your org
• Create, update, and delete data
• Obtain metadata about your org
• Run utilities to perform administrative tasks

Question 2

What is the REST API Transaction/Commit behaviour?

Answer 2

By default, each record is treated as a separate transaction and committed separately. Failure of one record change doesn’t cause a rollback of other record changes.

This behaviour can be altered to an “all or nothing” behaviour. Use the REST API composite resources to make a series of updates in one API call.

Question 3

What is the recommended data set size for Rest API?

Answer 3

For bulk data operations (more than 500,000 records), use the REST-based Bulk API.
