API Access for Salesforce Essentials

If you need API access but are on Salesforce Essentials Edition, you will need to upgrade your edition. The steps below cover how to proceed depending on whether you are on a paid subscription or a trial.

Paid Essentials Edition Subscribers

The Salesforce Essentials Edition does not support API access and would require Professional Edition or higher in order to use API.  

If you are already under a paid subscription of Essentials Edition, you can reach out to myaccount@salesforce.com if you would like to find out about upgrading your Salesforce ORG.

Essentials Edition Trial Users 

If you are still in a trial of Essentials Edition and would like to upgrade the trial to Professional Edition or higher, please create a case with Support to start this process.

Note: API Access for Professional Edition is an add-on and you must reach out to your Account Executive for this request.

API Access for Professional Edition

"For Professional Edition organizations, all requests for API access must be purchased and can be processed contacting your Account Executive. If you don't have a designated Account Executive, contact our Sales Team."
