Salesforce bulk is a simple ruby gem for connecting to and using the Salesforce Bulk API (www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_asynch/index.htm). There are already some gems out there that provide connectivity to the Salesforce SOAP and Rest APIs, if your needs are simple, I recommend using those, specifically raygao’s asf-rest-adapter (github.com/raygao/asf-rest-adapter) or databasedotcom (rubygems.org/gems/databasedotcom).
sudo gem install salesforce_bulk
Using this gem is simple and straight forward.
To initialize:
require 'salesforce_bulk' salesforce = SalesforceBulk::Api.new("YOUR_SALESFORCE_USERNAME", "YOUR_SALESFORCE_PASSWORD+YOUR_SALESFORCE_TOKEN")
To use sandbox:
salesforce = SalesforceBulk::Api.new("YOUR_SALESFORCE_SANDBOX_USERNAME", "YOUR_SALESFORCE_PASSWORD+YOUR_SALESFORCE_SANDBOX_TOKEN", true)
Note: the second parameter is a combination of your Salesforce token and password. So if your password is xxxx and your token is yyyy, the second parameter will be xxxxyyyy
Sample operations:
# Insert/Create new_account = Hash["name" => "Test Account", "type" => "Other"] # Add as many fields per record as needed. records_to_insert = Array.new records_to_insert.push(new_account) # You can add as many records as you want here, just keep in mind that Salesforce has governor limits. result = salesforce.create("Account", records_to_insert) puts "result is: #{result.inspect}" # Update updated_account = Hash["name" => "Test Account -- Updated", "id" => "a00A0001009zA2m"] # Nearly identical to an insert, but we need to pass the salesforce id. records_to_update = Array.new records_to_update.push(updated_account) salesforce.update("Account", records_to_update) # Upsert upserted_account = Hash["name" => "Test Account -- Upserted", "External_Field_Name" => "123456"] # Fields to be updated. External field must be included records_to_upsert = Array.new records_to_upsert.push(upserted_account) salesforce.upsert("Account", records_to_upsert, "External_Field_Name") # Note that upsert accepts an extra parameter for the external field name OR salesforce.upsert("Account", records_to_upsert, "External_Field_Name", true) # last parameter indicates whether to wait until the batch finishes # Delete deleted_account = Hash["id" => "a00A0001009zA2m"] # We only specify the id of the records to delete records_to_delete = Array.new records_to_delete.push(deleted_account) salesforce.delete("Account", records_to_delete) # Query res = salesforce.query("Account", "select id, name, createddate from Account limit 3") # We just need to pass the sobject name and the query string puts res.result.records.inspect
Result reporting:
new_account = Hash["type" => "Other"] # Missing required field "name." records_to_insert = Array.new records_to_insert.push(new_account) # You can add as many records as you want here, just keep in mind that Salesforce has governor limits. result = salesforce.create("Account", records_to_insert, true) # Result reporting can only be used if wait is set to true puts result.success? # false puts result.has_errors? # true puts result.result.errors # An indexed hash detailing the errors
