Overview

About

Maintained by Steven M. MortimerCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Functions connecting to the 'Salesforce' Platform APIs (REST, SOAP, Bulk 1.0, Bulk 2.0, Metadata, Reports and Dashboards) https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/api_basics/api_basics_overview. "API" is an acronym for "application programming interface". Most all calls from these APIs are supported as they use CSV, XML or JSON data that can be parsed into R data structures. For more details please see the 'Salesforce' API documentation and this package's website https://stevenmmortimer.github.io/salesforcer/ for more information, documentation, and examples.

Changes in 1.0.2

Dependencies

Increment the package's default Salesforce API version to 61.0 (Summer '24).
Remove deprecation warning for basic authentication (password and security token) because many users have found that it's still possible to use for programmatic (API-based) access even if their org requires users to log in via multi-factor authentication. (#128)

Features

Add two new datetime formats that will automatically be parsed if they appear in the query recordset "%m-%d-%Y %H:%M" and "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M". (#127)

Bug fixes

Fix bug that caused Bulk 1.0 queries using the PKChunking option to error out because the query info returned a vector of IDs instead of one which was expected by the sf_batch_status_bulk() function. (#124)

Show all changes in 1.0.2Hide the rest of the changes in 1.0.2

Explicitly specify the column name repair method for all as_tibble() and as_tibble_row() function calls because this could be causing issues when parsing and binding query recordsets. (#124)

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("salesforcer", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("StevenMMortimer/salesforcer")

Development version from StevenMMortimer/salesforcer. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-salesforcer

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-salesforcer

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-salesforcer

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
