Detlef Brendle Best way to create/update/delete user/account data
Hi,
i would like to know what would be the best way to modify data of my Salesforce account.
I've read things about Apex class, but im not sure if this is required.
Basically I want to use built in REST endpoints of Salesforce from my external application written in Java to post data to the salesforce system.
Has anybody done that before and where can I find documentation about REST endpoints of salesforce.
Thanks,
Detlef

Correct me if I am wrong, You want to send data through java program to Salesforce into some standard or custom object. For this you need to expose Salesfoce REST API known as Apex REST for that object and the you need to hit the endpoint url for posting the data through java program. Refer below links for more information.
Sample end point for getting sigle Salesforce Account record is given below :

thanks for your answer.
I've seen, that Salesforce already ships with standard REST and SOAP API.
My use case is to insert/update/delete built in entities such as Account / Client
When dealing with basic one single entity for each request, can I use the built-in REST API to modify entities ?
Then I dont have to write an APEX Class.
