Describe Global

Lists the available objects and their metadata for your organization’s data. In addition, it provides the organization encoding, as well as the maximum batch size permitted in queries. For more information on encoding, see Internationalization and Character Sets.

You can use the If-Modified-Since header with this resource, with the date format EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z. When using this header, if no available object’s metadata has changed since the provided date, a 304 Not Modified status code is returned with no response body.

The If-Modified-Since header checks for more than object-specific metadata changes. It also checks for org-wide events, such as changes to permissions, profiles, or field labels. If an org-wide change occurs, this resource or If-Modified-Since returns those results.
