Class ForceApi

java.lang.Object

com.force.api.ForceApi

public class ForceApi
extends Object

main class for making API calls. This class is cheap to instantiate and throw away. It holds a user's session as state and thus should never be reused across multiple user sessions, unless that's explicitly what you want to do. For web apps, you should instantiate this class on every request and feed it the session information as obtained from a session cookie or similar. An exception to this rule is if you make all API calls as a single API user. Then you can keep a static reference to this class.

Method Detail

getSession

public ApiSession getSession()

curlHelper

public String curlHelper()

get

public ResourceRepresentation get(String path)

delete

public ResourceRepresentation delete(String path)

sends a custom REST API DELETE request

Parameters:

path - service path to be called - i.e. /process/approvals/

Returns:

response from API wrapped in a ResourceRepresentation for multiple deserialization options. DELETE responses are generally empty, so you may get an error if you try to deserialize into a class by calling `as(...)` on ResourceRepresentation. The DELETE can be assumed to have succeeded if this method does not throw an exception.

post

public ResourceRepresentation post(String path,
                                   Object input)

sends a custom REST API POST request

Parameters:

path - service path to be called - i.e. /process/approvals/

input - this object will be serialized as JSON and sent in tbe body of the request

Returns:

response from API wrapped in a ResourceRepresentation for multiple deserialization options

put

public ResourceRepresentation put(String path,
                                  Object input)

sends a custom REST API PUT request (no test for this method yet).

Parameters:

path - service path to be called - i.e. /process/approvals/

input - this object will be serialized as JSON and sent in tbe body of the request

Returns:

response from API wrapped in a ResourceRepresentation for multiple deserialization options

patch

public ResourceRepresentation patch(String path,
                                    Object input)

sends a custom REST API PATCH request

Parameters:

path - service path to be called - i.e. /process/approvals/

input - this object will be serialized as JSON and sent in tbe body of the request

Returns:

response from API wrapped in a ResourceRepresentation for multiple deserialization options

request

public ResourceRepresentation request(String method,
                                      String path,
