Replication Web API

REST API

The REST API provides programmatic access to Reading and Write replication data. The REST API identifies the replication application and its users using OAUTH ; responses are available in json. We have used SWAGGER editor for the end users to make the API calls so that they can try out APIs exposed by our platform.

The link for accessing the API docs is http://localhost:8080/webapi/api-docs/repl-v4/ReplicationAPIDriver

Checklist Before Getting Started

1. User should have the release of 4.6.1 or later.

2. The on-premise instance should have Replication service running.

There is two API Methods list which is exposed for this release, we will be adding more methods in the upcoming releases. The order of the execution of API calls are as follows

1. Replicate

2. checkStatus

/replicate

The Replicate method is the actual API call used to invoke the replication process so that the Salesforce objects gets replicated to the Database. From this call, the process id is generated which is used in the checkStatus method to check the status of the replication process.
