Salesforce API
The Salesforce API is a set of web services and interfaces that allow developers to programmatically interact with the Salesforce platform, enabling data access, manipulation, and integration with external systems. It provides REST, SOAP, Bulk, and other APIs to support various use cases such as CRUD operations, querying, and real-time event handling. This API ecosystem is essential for building custom applications, automating business processes, and connecting Salesforce with other enterprise software.
Developers should learn the Salesforce API when building integrations between Salesforce and external systems, creating custom applications on the Salesforce platform, or automating data synchronization and business workflows. It is particularly valuable for roles involving CRM development, enterprise software integration, and cloud-based solution architecture, as it enables seamless data exchange and extends Salesforce's capabilities beyond its native features.
