API Usage Considerations for Salesforce Connect—Cross-Org Adapter
With the cross-org adapter, Salesforce Connect uses Lightning Platform REST API calls
to access records in other Salesforce orgs. Depending on how the external object is
accessed, each call counts toward the API usage limits of only the provider org or of both
provider and subscriber orgs.
Required Editions
Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience (not for high-data-volume
external objects)
Available in: Developer Edition
Available for an extra cost
in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited
Editions
When a user accesses an external object in one of the following ways, the Lightning
Platform REST API call counts toward the API usage limits of the provider org.
Opening a list view of external object records
Viewing an external object record detail page
Viewing a parent object record that contains an external object related list
Viewing a child object record that contains an external lookup field
Executing a search that also searches external objects
Accessing an external object from a flow, Visualforce page, Apex class, or Apex
trigger
Creating, editing, or deleting an external object record
Running a report
Editing a report and causing the preview to load in the report builder
If a user or system accesses an external object through the SOAP API, Bulk API, or
Lightning Platform REST API, that access counts toward the API usage limits of both the
subscriber org and the provider org.
