Mobile SDK REST Client Interface

Swift Objective-C
RestClient SFRestAPI

This class defines the native interface for creating, formatting, and sending REST requests to the Salesforce service. When the service responds, this class relays the asynchronous response to either your implementation of the RestClientDelegate protocol or a callback block or closure that you define.

RestClient serves as a factory for RestRequest instances. It defines a request factory method for each supported Lightning Platform endpoint. Each factory method returns a RestRequest instance that is customized with your request parameter values.

SFRestAPI defines REST request factory methods in Objective-C without Swift renaming. To call these methods on the Swift RestClient object, use the autocomplete suggestions offered by the Xcode compiler. For example, type RestClient.shared.request in a Mobile SDK app, then choose from the list.

Because the Swift compiler determines method and parameter names heuristically, signatures can differ from their Objective-C equivalents.
