API Metadata

Hi there! At this time, the answer to both of those questions is no. With respect to the first question, I've never actually seen this done anywhere before, but I would be very interested if you have. If you have examples of a company doing this, please share that with me so that we can better understand how this might work.

Regarding the second question, we do not, but I know that is something that we have explored in the past. I'll raise this question again and see what the sentiment is like these days. It will take a bit of time, so it may be a couple of weeks until I have an answer for you, but I will get back to you. Is there a specific endpoint/API where you'd particularly like to see this?

Hello Greg, 

Thank you for providing the confirmation about the discovery!

Responding to your query, there are lot of providers like Salesforce, Google, Workday, Microsoft Dynamics, etc. do provide the option to identify all the resources they support with a single endpoint. It would something like:

/apiversion/metadata OR /$meta -> to retrieve all the supported resources

/apiversion/{resourcename}/metadata OR /{resourcename}/$meta -> to retrieve the metadata/schema of a single resource. This single endpoint will help the user determine the metadata of any resource.

hi Greg Katechis is the API endpoint that would return the schema (or) metadata of an object available now ?
