Getting Information About My Organization

The examples in this section use REST API resources to retrieve organization-level information, such as a list of all objects available in your organization.

• List Available REST API Versions

  Use the Versions resource to list summary information about each REST API version currently available, including the version, label, and a link to each version’s root. You don’t need authentication to retrieve the list of versions.

• List Org Limits

  Use the Limits resource to list your org limits.

• List Available REST Resources

  Use the Resources by Version resource to list the resources available for the specified API version. This provides the name and URI of each additional resource.

• Get a List of Objects

  Use the Describe Global resource to list the objects available in your org and available to the logged-in user. This resource also returns the org encoding, as well as maximum batch size permitted in queries.

• Get a List of Objects If Metadata Has Changed

  Use the Describe Global resource and the If-Modified-Since HTTP header to determine if an object’s metadata has changed.
