User Interface API– An Introduction • Salesforce Developers needed a new API to build Lightning Experience • It came up with UI API which consists of the layout, metadata and record data altogether to build custom and dynamic UI • With UI API - you don’t have to take care about field level security, sharing rules, layouts and even picklists.
- 5. Features of UIAPI • UI API provides you the record information along with the layout information • It also provides you the data and metadata about the actions implemented in the UI like:- Standard and Custom Buttons, Quick Actions etc. • You can perform CRUD operation on records with UI API • It also gives you the information about list views as well as makes it easier to render dependent and independent picklists

- 8. Considerations for UIAPI • List of Supported Objects:- https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en- us.uiapi.meta/uiapi/ui_api_get_started_supported_objects.htm • UI API uses the Salesforce API Limits. If the limit is exceeded, you’ll receive 503 Service Unavailable Error • To access salesforce resources, we have to add our custom host to CORS in Salesforce so that the requests are permitted • If you are building lightning components don’t use UI API, use Lightning Data Service instead
