Write and execute SOQL queries against Salesforce orgs directly from VS Code — with live results, auto-complete, and query management.
Latest update — 0.3.9
DELETE and HEAD no longer fail with No 'mode' found in 'body' entry
The delete confirmation and any REST error now show in the response area
0.3.8
REST Explorer, on the tab after Objects.
Call the connected org with GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, or HEAD
Set the resource path, optional headers, and a request body for POST, PUT, and PATCH
Reset returns to /services/data/v{API version}. Up moves to the parent path
Resource links in a response open with GET
DELETE asks you to confirm in the panel before it is sent
A successful POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE shows a completion message. An empty HTTP 200 still counts as success
Requests use your existing Salesforce CLI login. Paths must start with /services/
