Using a Composite Graph
-
Regular composite requests allow you to execute a series of REST API requests in a single call. And you can use the output of one request as the input to a subsequent request.
-
Composite graphs extend regular composite requests by allowing you to assemble a more complicated and complete series of related objects and records.
-
Composite graphs also enable you to ensure that the steps in a given set of requests are either all completed or all not completed. If you use this option, you don’t have to check which requests were successful.
-
Regular composite requests have a limit of 25 subrequests. Composite graphs increase this limit to 500.
Create a request:
1curl -X POST curl https://MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v65.0/composite/graph -H "Authorization: Bearer token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @data.jsonwhere the file data.json contains the definition of the graphs. The general format for the request body is:
1{
2 "graphs": [
3 {
4 "graphId": "graphId",
5 "compositeRequest": [
6 compositeSubrequest,
7 compositeSubrequest,
8 ...
9 ]
10 },
11 {
12 "graphId": "graphId",
13 "compositeRequest": [
14 compositeSubrequest,
15 compositeSubrequest,
16 ...
17 ]
18 },
19 ...
20 ]
21}where compositeSubrequest is a composite subrequest result.
For example, two composite graph requests each create an Account and then create related records:
1{
2 "graphs" : [
3 {
4 "graphId" : "1",
5 "compositeRequest" : [
6 {
7 "url" : "/services/data/v65.0/sobjects/Account/",
8 "body" : {
9 "name" : "Cloudy Consulting"
10 },
11 "method" : "POST",
12 "referenceId" : "reference_id_account_1"
13 },
14 {
15 "url" : "/services/data/v65.0/sobjects/Contact/",
16 "body" : {
17 "FirstName" : "Nellie",
18 "LastName" : "Cashman",
19 "AccountId" : "@{reference_id_account_1.id}"
20 },
21 "method" : "POST",
22 "referenceId" : "reference_id_contact_1"

31 },
32 "method" : "POST",
33 "referenceId" : "reference_id_opportunity_1"
34 }
35 ]
36 },
37 {
38 "graphId" : "2",
39 "compositeRequest" : [

52 "LastName" : "Dawson",
