Create Records Using sObject Rows by External ID

Creates a new record based on the field values included in the request body. This resource does not require the use of an external ID field.

As a special case, in API version 37.0 and later, you can create a record with a POST request to /services/data/vXX.X/sobjects/sObjectName/Id. Because Id has a null value, it is omitted from the request, and the record is created according to the request body. Creating records with this resource is useful because you can use the same URI in each POST request for each new record. In this case, you are not required to specify an external ID to create a record.
