Prerequisites

Complete these prerequisites before you begin the quick start.

Become familiar with:

  • cURL, which is a command-line tool the quick start uses as the client application that makes HTTP requests to Salesforce. cURL is pre-installed on many Linux, Mac, and Windows systems. If cURL isn’t pre-installed on Windows, users can download a version at curl.haxx.se/. When using HTTPS on Windows, ensure that your system meets the cURL requirements for SSL.

    cURL is an open-source tool and isn’t supported by Salesforce.

    Note

  • JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), which is the data format returned in this quick start.
  • OAuth 2.0, which is the framework Salesforce uses for authentication. The quick start provides the steps, but it would be helpful to familiarize yourself with OAuth terms and concepts.
