How do I develop Salesforce API code for a custom object without Enterprise/Unlimited edition?

If you get your application certified by Salesforce they will provide you with a "Partner Application API" token. Using this when establishing the Salesforce API session will allow your application to work with a professional edition org.

If you get your application certified by Salesforce they will provide you with a "Partner Application API" token. Using this when establishing the Salesforce API session will allow your application to work with a professional edition org. Alternatively, you can also obtain API access to a Professional Edition org by paying an additional fee.

You will need to contact your salesforce.com sales person. Update: Apparently the functionality is enabled by Salesforce internally using the informally named "Black Tab". See also: Re: Use of the API and Salesforce.com Professional Version.

This is exactly it. I had to use the partner API, and the token. Our corporate app is certified, so I just used that.

Access to the web services API for Salesforce is only available in Developer, Enterprise, and Unlimited Editions. I believe that you aren't allowed to login to the API, so even if you managed to generate a WSDL it wouldn't work. See the full edition comparison chart PDF.

You would think that from Salesforce's collateral, but it's not the case. Our Marqui CMS has a Salesforce connector, and it successfully manipulates contact and lead objects via the API, on any edition of Salesforce. Strange, huh?

If I wanted to manipulate the standard objects, I'd go for it no problem, the issue here is with that custom object. I've just got the Force IDE going, I'm hoping the metadata api will be able to help me out. Here goes... – Jordan Hudson Feb 18 '10 at 16:51.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
