Cannot Retrieve Custom Objects with the Force.com REST API

Hi,

I've set up Custom objects within Salesforce called Promotions and Transactions.

I can authenticate, connect and make calls to the REST API all fine however the Custom Objects mentioned above do not appear in any of the API responses. I noticed this when I tried to call the endpoint for 'Describe Global' (/sobjects). The response consisted of ~270 object descriptions but not any for Promotions or Transactions.

I've been looking through Salesforce and checking all permissions etc for anything I could have missed although they all look correct. Permissions on those Custom Objects are all specifically ticked.

Does anyone know why I cannot retrieve these Custom Objects in the responses?
Or why endpoints specific to the Custom Objects do not exist?

I'm currently on a Trial version of Salesforce but I'm not sure if this could be a factor.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Mine is a rather unremarkable custom object. But the code below retrieves it nicely.
