Access Salesforce APIs
With Data SDK, you can access any Connect REST API resource from your multi-framework app. Many Salesforce features provide their own Connect API resources, such as Data 360 Connect REST API, CRM Analytics REST API, and Salesforce Industries REST API. We recommend that you check the reference documentation for the feature you’re accessing.
Here are common endpoints you can use with Data SDK and the apps they support. See the differences between internal and external apps.
In the endpoint, v{version} represents the API version you work with, such as v66.0.

We recommend that you use optional chaining fetch?.() instead of a non-null assertion fetch!.(). Optional chaining is useful when you want to use fetch in a shared or cross-surface utility. If you’re not sure where your code is run, use optional chaining and handle the response appropriately.
The read-data examples in the Multi-framework recipes repo demonstrate how to call Chatter Connect API, Apex REST, and UI API REST.
