Salesforce provides REST API to Create, Update and Delete records.
We can also define Apex as a REST Service to Create, Update and Delete records in Salesforce.
Example:
Follow the below steps
1. Create the below Apex Class
Sample Code:
@RestResource(urlMapping='/Member__c/*')
global with sharing class sampleRest
{
@HttpDelete
global static void doDelete()
{
RestRequest req = RestContext.request;
RestResponse res = RestContext.response;
String memberId = req.requestURI.substring(req.requestURI.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
Member__c memb = [SELECT Id FROM Member__c WHERE Id = :memberId];
delete memb;
}
@HttpGet
global static Member__c doGet()
{
RestRequest req = RestContext.request;
RestResponse res = RestContext.response;
String memberId = req.requestURI.substring(req.requestURI.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
Member__c result = [SELECT Id, Name FROM Member__c WHERE Id = :memberId];
return result;
}
@HttpPost
global static String doPost(String name)
{
Member__c m = new Member__c();
m.Name = name;
insert m;
return m.Id;
}
}
2. To call the doGet method from a client, open a command-line window and execute the following cURL command to retrieve an account by ID:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer sessionId" "https://instance.salesforce.com/services/apexrest/Member__c/memberId"
3. Create a file called member.txt to contain the data for the member you will create in the next step.
4. Using a command-line window, execute the following cURL command to create a new member:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer sessionId" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d member.txt "https://instance.salesforce.com/services/apexrest/Member__c/"
5. Using a command-line window, execute the following cURL command to delete a member by specifying the ID:
curl —X DELETE —H "Authorization: Bearer sessionId" "https://instance.salesforce.com/services/apexrest/Member__c/memId"
