The REST API Explorer lets you make authenticated Salesforce REST API calls without setting up Postman, configuring OAuth, or writing code. It uses your existing browser session.

Features

Request Builder

Construct any REST API request:

Method — GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE
Endpoint — Full URL or relative path (e.g., /services/data/v60.0/sobjects/Account)
Headers — Custom headers with key-value editor
Body — JSON editor with syntax highlighting and validation

Common Endpoints

Quick-access buttons for the most-used endpoints:

/sobjects — List all objects
/sobjects/{ObjectName}/describe — Full schema for an object
/query?q=... — Execute SOQL
/tooling/... — Tooling API endpoints
/composite/... — Composite operations

Response Viewer

The response panel shows:

Status code and response time
Response body (pretty-printed JSON)
Response headers
Request history (last 10 calls)

Saved Requests

Save frequently used requests with custom names. Organize into folders. Share with your team via export.

Authentication

No setup needed. The extension uses your current Salesforce session token, so every request is automatically authenticated as you.

Common Use Cases
