Simple Salesforce is a basic Salesforce.com REST API client built for Python 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8. The goal is to provide a very low-level interface to the REST Resource and APEX API, returning a dictionary of the API JSON response.

You can find out more regarding the format of the results in the `Official Salesforce.com REST API Documentation`_

.. _Official Salesforce.com REST API Documentation: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_rest/index.htm

Examples
--------
There are two ways to gain access to Salesforce

The first is to simply pass the domain of your Salesforce instance and an access token straight to ``Salesforce()``

For example:

.. code-block:: python

    from simple_salesforce import Salesforce
    sf = Salesforce(instance='na1.salesforce.com', session_id='')

If you have the full URL of your instance (perhaps including the schema, as is included in the OAuth2 request process), you can pass that in instead using ``instance_url``:

.. code-block:: python

    from simple_salesforce import Salesforce
    sf = Salesforce(instance_url='https://na1.salesforce.com', session_id='')

There are also three means of authentication, one that uses username, password and security token; one that uses IP filtering, username, password  and organizationId; and the other that uses a private key to sign a JWT.

To login using the security token method, simply include the Salesforce method and pass in your Salesforce username, password and token (this is usually provided when you change your password):

.. code-block:: python

    from simple_salesforce import Salesforce
    sf = Salesforce(username='myemail@example.com', password='password', security_token='token')

To login using IP-whitelist Organization ID method, simply use your Salesforce username, password and organizationId:

.. code-block:: python

    from simple_salesforce import Salesforce
    sf = Salesforce(password='password', username='myemail@example.com', organizationId='OrgId')

To login using the JWT method, use your Salesforce username, consumer key from your app, and private key:

.. code-block:: python

    from simple_salesforce import Salesforce
    sf = Salesforce(username='myemail@example.com', consumer_key='XYZ', privatekey_file='filename.key')

If you'd like to enter a sandbox, simply add ``domain='test'`` to your ``Salesforce()`` call.

For example:

.. code-block:: python

    from simple_salesforce import Salesforce
    sf = Salesforce(username='myemail@example.com.sandbox', password='password', security_token='token', domain='test')

Note that specifying if you want to use a domain is only necessary if you are using the built-in username/password/security token authentication and is used exclusively during the authentication step.

If you'd like to keep track where your API calls are coming from, simply add ``client_id='My App'`` to your ``Salesforce()`` call.

.. code-block:: python

    from simple_salesforce import Salesforce
    sf = Salesforce(username='myemail@example.com.sandbox', password='password', security_token='token', client_id='My App', domain='test')

If you view the API calls in your Salesforce instance by Client Id it will be prefixed with ``RestForce/``, for example ``RestForce/My App``.

When instantiating a `Salesforce` object, it's also possible to include an
instance of `requests.Session`. This is to allow for specialized
session handling not otherwise exposed by simple_salesforce.

For example:

.. code-block:: python

   from simple_salesforce import Salesforce
   import requests

   session = requests.Session()
   # manipulate the session instance (optional)
   sf = Salesforce(
      username='user@example.com', password='password', organizationId='OrgId',
      session=session)

Record Management
-----------------

To create a new 'Contact' in Salesforce:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.Contact.create({'LastName':'Smith','Email':'example@example.com'})

This will return a dictionary such as ``{u'errors': [], u'id': u'003e0000003GuNXAA0', u'success': True}``

To get a dictionary with all the information regarding that record, use:

.. code-block:: python

    contact = sf.Contact.get('003e0000003GuNXAA0')

To get a dictionary with all the information regarding that record, using a **custom** field that was defined as External ID:

.. code-block:: python

    contact = sf.Contact.get_by_custom_id('My_Custom_ID__c', '22')

To change that contact's last name from 'Smith' to 'Jones' and add a first name of 'John' use:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.Contact.update('003e0000003GuNXAA0',{'LastName': 'Jones', 'FirstName': 'John'})

To delete the contact:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.Contact.delete('003e0000003GuNXAA0')

To retrieve a list of Contact records deleted over the past 10 days (datetimes are required to be in UTC):

.. code-block:: python

    import pytz
    import datetime
    end = datetime.datetime.now(pytz.UTC)  # we need to use UTC as salesforce API requires this!
    sf.Contact.deleted(end - datetime.timedelta(days=10), end)

To retrieve a list of Contact records updated over the past 10 days (datetimes are required to be in UTC):

.. code-block:: python

    import pytz
    import datetime
    end = datetime.datetime.now(pytz.UTC) # we need to use UTC as salesforce API requires this
    sf.Contact.updated(end - datetime.timedelta(days=10), end)

Note that Update, Delete and Upsert actions return the associated `Salesforce HTTP Status Code`_

Use the same format to create any record, including 'Account', 'Opportunity', and 'Lead'.
Make sure to have all the required fields for any entry. The `Salesforce API`_ has all objects found under 'Reference -> Standard Objects' and the required fields can be found there.

.. _Salesforce HTTP Status Code: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_rest/Content/errorcodes.htm
.. _Salesforce API: https://www.salesforce.com/developer/docs/api/

Queries
-------

It's also possible to write select queries in Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) and search queries in Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL).

SOQL queries are done via:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.query("SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE LastName = 'Jones'")

If, due to an especially large result, Salesforce adds a ``nextRecordsUrl`` to your query result, such as ``"nextRecordsUrl" : "/services/data/v26.0/query/01gD0000002HU6KIAW-2000"``, you can pull the additional results with either the ID or the full URL (if using the full URL, you must pass 'True' as your second argument)

.. code-block:: python

    sf.query_more("01gD0000002HU6KIAW-2000")
    sf.query_more("/services/data/v26.0/query/01gD0000002HU6KIAW-2000", True)

As a convenience, to retrieve all of the results in a single local method call use

.. code-block:: python

    sf.query_all("SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE LastName = 'Jones'")

While ``query_all`` materializes the whole result into a Python list, ``query_all_iter`` returns an iterator, which allows you to lazily process each element separately

.. code-block:: python

    data = sf.query_all_iter("SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE LastName = 'Jones'")
    for row in data:
      process(row)

Values used in SOQL queries can be quoted and escaped using ``format_soql``:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.query(format_soql("SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE LastName = {}", "Jones"))
    sf.query(format_soql("SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE LastName = {last_name}", last_name="Jones"))
    sf.query(format_soql("SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE LastName IN {names}", names=["Smith", "Jones"]))

To skip quoting and escaping for one value while still using the format string, use ``:literal``:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.query(format_soql("SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE Income > {:literal}", "USD100"))

To escape a substring used in a LIKE expression while being able to use % around it, use ``:like``:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.query(format_soql("SELECT Id, Email FROM Contact WHERE Name LIKE '{:like}%'", "Jones"))

SOSL queries are done via:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.search("FIND {Jones}")

There is also 'Quick Search', which inserts your query inside the {} in the SOSL syntax. Be careful, there is no escaping!

.. code-block:: python

    sf.quick_search("Jones")

Search and Quick Search return ``None`` if there are no records, otherwise they return a dictionary of search results.

More details about syntax is available on the `Salesforce Query Language Documentation Developer Website`_

.. _Salesforce Query Language Documentation Developer Website: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/soql_sosl/index.htm

Other Options
-------------

To insert or update (upsert) a record using an external ID, use:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.Contact.upsert('customExtIdField__c/11999',{'LastName': 'Smith','Email': 'smith@example.com'})

To format an external ID that could contain non-URL-safe characters, use:

.. code-block:: python

    external_id = format_external_id('customExtIdField__c', 'this/that & the other')

To retrieve basic metadata use:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.Contact.metadata()

To retrieve a description of the object, use:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.Contact.describe()

To retrieve a description of the record layout of an object by its record layout unique id, use:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.Contact.describe_layout('39wmxcw9r23r492')

To retrieve a list of top level description of instance metadata, user:

.. code-block:: python

    sf.describe()

    for x in sf.describe()["sobjects"]:
      print x["label"]


Using Bulk
----------

You can use this library to access Bulk API functions. The data element can be a list of records of any size and by default batch sizes are 10,000 records and run in parrallel concurrency mode. To set the batch size for insert, upsert, delete, hard_delete, and update use the batch_size argument. To set the concurrency mode for the salesforce job the use_serial argument can be set to use_serial=True.

Create new records:

.. code-block:: python

    data = [
          {'LastName':'Smith','Email':'example@example.com'},
          {'LastName':'Jones','Email':'test@test.com'}
        ]

    sf.bulk.Contact.insert(data,batch_size=10000,use_serial=True)

Update existing records:

.. code-block:: python

    data = [
          {'Id': '0000000000AAAAA', 'Email': 'examplenew@example.com'},
          {'Id': '0000000000BBBBB', 'Email': 'testnew@test.com'}
        ]

    sf.bulk.Contact.update(data,batch_size=10000,use_serial=True)

Upsert records:

.. code-block:: python

    data = [
          {'Id': '0000000000AAAAA', 'Email': 'examplenew2@example.com'},
          {'Email': 'foo@foo.com'}
        ]

    sf.bulk.Contact.upsert(data, 'Id', batch_size=10000, use_serial=True)

Query records:

.. code-block:: python

    query = 'SELECT Id, Name FROM Account LIMIT 10'

    sf.bulk.Account.query(query)

Delete records (soft deletion):

.. code-block:: python

    data = [{'Id': '0000000000AAAAA'}]

    sf.bulk.Contact.delete(data,batch_size=10000,use_serial=True)

Hard deletion:

.. code-block:: python

    data = [{'Id': '0000000000BBBBB'}]

    sf.bulk.Contact.hard_delete(data,batch_size=10000,use_serial=True)


Using Apex
----------

You can also use this library to call custom Apex methods:

.. code-block:: python

    payload = {
      "activity": [
        {"user": "12345", "action": "update page", "time": "2014-04-21T13:00:15Z"}
      ]
    }
    result = sf.apexecute('User/Activity', method='POST', data=payload)

This would call the endpoint ``https://<instance>.salesforce.com/services/apexrest/User/Activity`` with ``data=`` as
the body content encoded with ``json.dumps``

You can read more about Apex on the `Force.com Apex Code Developer's Guide`_

.. _Force.com Apex Code Developer's Guide: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_dev_guide.htm

Additional Features
-------------------

There are a few helper classes that are used internally and available to you.

Included in them are ``SalesforceLogin``, which takes in a username, password, security token, optional version and optional domain and returns a tuple of ``(session_id, sf_instance)`` where `session_id` is the session ID to use for authentication to Salesforce and ``sf_instance`` is the domain of the instance of Salesforce to use for the session.

For example, to use SalesforceLogin for a sandbox account you'd use:

.. code-block:: python

    from simple_salesforce import SalesforceLogin
    session_id, instance = SalesforceLogin(
        username='myemail@example.com.sandbox',
        password='password',
        security_token='token',
        domain='test')

Simply leave off the final domain if you do not wish to use a sandbox.

Also exposed is the ``SFType`` class, which is used internally by the ``__getattr__()`` method in the ``Salesforce()`` class and represents a specific SObject type. ``SFType`` requires ``object_name`` (i.e. ``Contact``), ``session_id`` (an authentication ID), ``sf_instance`` (hostname of your Salesforce instance), and an optional ``sf_version``

To add a Contact using the default version of the API you'd use:

.. code-block:: python

    from simple_salesforce import SFType
    contact = SFType('Contact','sesssionid','na1.salesforce.com')
    contact.create({'LastName':'Smith','Email':'example@example.com'})

To use a proxy server between your client and the SalesForce endpoint, use the proxies argument when creating SalesForce object.
The proxy argument is the same as what requests uses, a map of scheme to proxy URL:

.. code-block:: python

    proxies = {
      "http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",
      "https": "http://10.10.1.10:1080",
    }
    SalesForce(instance='na1.salesforce.com', session_id='', proxies=proxies)

All results are returned as JSON converted OrderedDict to preserve order of keys from REST responses.
