The first step to integrating with the Salesforce REST API is creating a new Connected App within your Salesforce org. NET Framework as well, and my Salesforce examples will be using Lightning Experience (Spring 2020 release). All of my code examples will be from a C#. Today we're going to set up our application's connection to Salesforce, including the creation of our Connected App, and use our application to login through the Salesforce REST API.
In this new series we're going to work through similar tasks using the Salesforce REST API because not every technology stack, or development team, is willing and able to handle SOAP requests. In my previous Salesforce series we learned how to perform authentication, login, run queries, and create, update, or delete records using the Salesforce SOAP API.
