Canvas SDK

Canvas is a set of tools that enable you to integrate your apps within Salesforce. This framework includes an SDK that you can use to authenticate your app and retrieve data from Salesforce.

To prepare your Canvas apps for the new web browser restrictions on third-party cookies, see How Third-Party Cookie Restrictions Impact Salesforce Canvas Apps in Salesforce Help.

Important

The Canvas SDK and code examples are available on GitHub at https://github.com/forcedotcom/salesforcecanvasframeworksdk.

The Canvas SDK is versioned and matches the API version in each release. The current version is 64.0. To check the version of the SDK that you have, call the version method.
