Working with Searches and Queries

You can use REST API to make complex searches and queries across your data.

The examples in this section use REST API resources to search and query records using Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL) and Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL). For more information on SOSL and SOQL see the Force.com SOQL and SOSL Reference.
