Difference between 'API Field Name' and 'Field Label'

Publish Date: Oct 13, 2022
Description
Fields display in a variety of places in the Salesforce user interface, including page layouts, related lists, search layouts, list views, and reports. Also, Salesforce provides programmatic access to your organization’s information using simple, powerful, and secure application programming interfaces using API.

 

Resolution

Field Label - How the field is displayed in the user interface in areas such as record detail pages, search results, and list views.
API Field Name - The name of the field, as used programatically in Apex, or any of the APIs (Rest, SOAP, Bulk, etc). Most standard fields use the same name as the label while custom fields will show '__c' at the end for the API Name.
