[Salesforce] Call REST from Apex

Here just shared the experiences for how to make a call to REST method from Apex side.

Firstly, we should create a Class with REST annotation. An example REST class and in below

@RestResource(urlMapping='/ReqAccounts/*')
global with sharing class RESTController {

    @HttpGet
  global static List<Account> getAccount() {
    List<Account> accList = [ Select ID, Name from Account limit 10];

    return accList ;

  }

    
}

After that, we should config the Remote site setting to make sure the site we call from is ready for the call.

Finally, we make a call from this REST method to get Account records. Sample code as below:

<pre name="code" class="java">HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();

req.setEndpoint('https://cs6.salesforce.com/services/apexrest/ReqAccounts');
req.setMethod('GET');

system.debug('## ' + UserInfo.getSessionId());
String authorizationHeader = 'Bearer  ' + UserInfo.getSessionId();
req.setHeader('Authorization', authorizationHeader);
	
Http http = new Http();
	 
HTTPResponse res = http.send(req);System.debug(res.getBody());

Results return as JSON format.
