Connect REST API Developer Guide

Integrate mobile apps, intranet sites, and third-party web applications with Salesforce using Connect REST API. Responses are localized, structured for presentation, and can be filtered to contain only what the app needs.

We’re making major improvements to the Connect REST API reference content in July 2026. We’re replacing the separate pages for resources, request bodies, and response bodies with a unified, single-page layout that expands to show details as you need them. Existing resource pages will automatically redirect to the correct resource in the new interface. Request and response body pages will redirect to the main API reference page because this information appears in context with its associated resources. To preview the new interface, see the Data 360 Connect REST API.

Important

Available in: All editions except Personal Edition. In addition, some features require Chatter to be enabled for the organization.

Connect REST API provides programmatic access to B2B Commerce, CMS managed content, Experience Cloud sites, files, notifications, topics, and more. Use Connect REST API to display Chatter feeds, users, and groups, especially in mobile applications.

Many Connect REST API resource actions are exposed as static methods on Apex classes in the ConnectApi namespace. These classes are called Connect in Apex. Use Connect in Apex to create custom experiences in Salesforce. Connect in Apex is available in all organizations and editions that have Apex enabled.
