How to access "Additional Information" fields via API?

On the Account and Opportunity objects there are some fields grouped under the Additional Information header on the web form. For Account e.g Customer Priority, SLA Expiration Date etc. and for Opportunity, Order Number, Current Generators etc..

 

These fields seems impossible to access via the REST API, or am I missing something?

Judging from the fact that I cannot find any of these fields on my Salesforce, they appear to be custom fields.

 

If you issue a describe call like this:

https://{someinstance}.salesforce.com/services/data/v20.0/sobjects/account/describe

 

It should return all the fields on the account and hopefully you can find the correct API names for those fields.

 

Hope this helps.

You are right, they are!!

 

I never added them, but apparently they were added as default custom fiedls on my developer account.

 

Thanks!
