Get Records Using sObject Rows
Gets a record based on the specified object and record ID. The fields and field values of the record are returned in the response body. This resource can be used with external objects in API version 32.0 and later.
External objects that are associated with non-high-data-volume external data sources use the 18-character Salesforce ID for the id. Otherwise, external objects use the External ID standard field of the external object for the id.
For information about the items in the response body, see DescribeSObjectResult in the SOAP API Developer’s Guide.
If the object is an Account object, the response also contains an ETag header. For example: ETag: "ddpAdaTHz+GcV35e7NLJ9iKD3XXVqAzXT1Sl2ykkP7g=--gzip" This ETag can be used with the If-Match and If-None-Match headers. For more information, see Conditional Request Headers.
