salesforce rest api

Question

I am new to salesforce. I need to know how to design a WSDL for salesforce REST API inorder to connect salesforce service?

I have a doubt, is it possible to do a GET request(sales force has REST access) on sales force resources and create xsd based on the response xml received for each request?

But I cant able to find particular schema available for salesforce. or

Is there any other way to design a WSDL for REST API?

Thank you for your answer in advance

Answer 1

For the REST API, you don't need to use the WSDL. You can explore the API by going to

https://{instance}.salesforce.com/services/data/v24.0

For an interactive explorer, check out apigee's salesforce console:

You can also use Workbench to make REST calls to Salesforce:
