Chatter REST API Developer Guide

Integrate mobile apps, intranet sites, and third-party web applications with Salesforce using Chatter REST API. Responses are localized, structured for presentation, and can be filtered to contain only what the app needs.

Available in: All editions except Personal Edition. In addition, some features require Chatter to be enabled for the organization.

Use Chatter REST API to display Chatter feeds, users, groups, and followers, especially in mobile applications. Chatter REST API also provides programmatic access to files, recommendations, topics, notifications, Data.com purchasing, and more. Chatter REST API is similar to APIs offered by other companies with feeds, such as Facebook and Twitter, but it also exposes Salesforce features beyond Chatter.

Many Chatter REST API resource actions are exposed as static methods on Apex classes in the ConnectApi namespace. These classes are called Chatter in Apex. Use Chatter in Apex to create custom experiences in Salesforce. Chatter in Apex is available in all organizations and editions that have Apex enabled.
