salesforce-python is an API wrapper for Salesforce written in Python
pip install salesforce-python
from salesforce.client import Client
client = Client('CLIENT_KEY', 'CLIENT_SECRET', 'https://na50.salesforce.com/', 'v41.0') # Host must have trailing slash
Get authorization url
url = client.authorization_url('REDIRECT_URI')
Exchange the code for a token
token = client.exchange_code('REDIRECT_URI', 'CODE')
Set the token
client.set_access_token('TOKEN')
Refresh the token
new_token = client.refresh_token()
Get user information
user = client.get_user_info()
Get API versions
user = client.get_versions()
Get all resources by the version specified in the client instantiation.
versions = client.get_versions()
Get all objects described
metadata = client.get_describe_global()
Get an object
object = client.get_sobject('Lead)
Create an object
data = {'LastName': 'Doe', 'IsConverted': 'False', 'Status': 'Open - Not Contacted', 'IsUnreadByOwner': 'False', 'Company': 'NA', 'FirstName': 'John'}
response = client.create_sobject('Lead', data)
Get an object described
metadata = client.get_sobject_describe('Lead')
In order to create a webhook in Salesforce we need to create an APEX Class, Remote Site and Apex Trigger.
Create the APEX Class
In this example we are going to read the apex_class.txt file in the files folder included in this repository:
with open(os.path.join('/path/to/apex_class.txt'), 'r') as file:
body = file.read()
response = client.create_apex_class('WebhookClass', body)
Create the Remote Site
URL is a string with the domain of your site:
url = 'https://mywebsite.com/'
response = client.create_remote_site('RemoteSiteSetting', url)
Create the APEX Trigger
To create the Trigger, we are going to read the apex_trigger.txt file and replace some values.
with open(os.path.join('/path/to/apex_trigger.txt'), 'r') as file:
body = file.read()
sobject = 'User'
event = 'after insert'
url = 'https://mywebsite.com/notification_url/' #This is the domain url + your webhook path
body = body.replace('{sobject}', sobject)
body = body.replace('{events}', event)
body = body.replace('{url}', "'" + url + "'")
response = client.create_apex_trigger('WebhookTrigger', body, sobject)
That's all, you should receive notifications every time you create a new user in your Salesforce dashboard.
