Across APIs: Salesforce Tooling API Viewing and Creating Metadata

We are going further into the Tooling API. I show how you can perform the same tasks as Visual Studio Code or other IDEs, but through the APIs directly.

In this video I show how to connect to the Tooling API and automate tasks such as:

-Viewing Custom Objects
-Viewing Custom Fields
-Creating a Custom Field
-Viewing Apex Classes
-Creating an Apex Class

There are a lot of capabilities here, it is definitely worth learning and having ready in case you need it.

This video is in the Salesforce Integration Extravaganza Set.

Hi Steve, I’m encountering an issue while fetching Profile metadata using the Salesforce Tooling API. I’m able to retrieve the userPermissions, but all other values (like object permissions, field permissions, etc.) are coming back empty.

I’m using the System Administrator profile, so I expect to see full data. Is this a limitation of the Tooling API, or am I missing something in my request?

Any insights on why this might be happening and how I can retrieve the full Profile metadata would be greatly appreciated!
