Working with Searches and Queries

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), and other search APIs.

For more information on SOSL and SOQL see the SOQL and SOSL Reference.
