rest-api-patterns

Salesforce REST API integration patterns provide design guidance, code examples, and testing approaches for custom endpoints, Composite API, Bulk API 2.0, and authentication flows to reduce integration guesswork. They standardize endpoints, error handling, and data formatting across Salesforce integrations.

Design custom REST endpoints in Salesforce by applying standardized design guidance for REST request and response structures, ensuring consistent data formatting, error handling, and safe implementation across common sObject operations to support admin and developer workflows.

Use Salesforce Composite API to chain multiple REST requests into a single call, reducing round trips. Use Bulk API 2.0 for processing large data volumes efficiently. Both patterns include design guidance and configuration recommendations for safe implementation.

Handle authentication flows for Salesforce REST API integrations by following documented best practices and configuration recommendations. The patterns define specific authentication approaches, error handling, and testing methodologies to implement secure integrations efficiently.

Standardize error handling across Salesforce REST API endpoints by applying documented integration patterns that define consistent error response structures, data formatting, and testing approaches, reducing inconsistencies and guesswork across custom REST endpoints and API operations.

Yes, these Salesforce REST API patterns support both admin and developer workflows. They provide practical examples and best practices for designing a robust integration layer that standardizes endpoints, bulk operations, and authentication flows across diverse integration scenarios.
