Hi Dinesh,

 

You need to use HTTP callout 

 

public class AuthCallout {

 public void basicAuthCallout(){
 HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
 req.setEndpoint('http://www.yahoo.com');
 req.setMethod('GET');

 // Specify the required user name and password to access the endpoint 

 // As well as the header and header information 


 String username = 'myname';
 String password = 'mypwd';

 Blob headerValue = Blob.valueOf(username + ':' + password);
 String authorizationHeader = 'BASIC ' +
 EncodingUtil.base64Encode(headerValue);
 req.setHeader('Authorization', authorizationHeader);

 // Create a new http object to send the request object 

 // A response object is generated as a result of the request   


 Http http = new Http();
 HTTPResponse res = http.send(req);
 System.debug(res.getBody());
  }
 }

Thanks Ashish that defenitely helps me understand how to use the Code base. 

But i am looking at the high end information i need to gather from thirdparty vendor to actully Code in Salesforce ..

 

Just lilke i know i have to get the Details of other Org ..

 

when calling giving Out Salesforce RestService URL .. i will have to provide the comsumers

UserName Password ,client Id and Secret id along with mapping URL .

Hi Dinesh, 

Are you trying to get the details from 3rd party client into Salesforce or Salesforce data into 3rd party App.
