Salesforce API Connector for WordPress

This WordPress plugin makes it easy to connect your site to SalesForce Force.com to make API request. It uses the 'password' grant_type with an API User's Credentials.

For Example:

• Customer Portal - If you ever wanted to create a custom customer portal solution this would be foundational to doing just that
• Reports - Perhaps you wanted a live piece of data to display in a widget, post, or page, with this API connector you could easily make a request to a reporting class in your organization and make it happen
• Directory - Wanting a simple way to manage your organizations staff on your WordPress site? With a quick API call to a custom APEX class you can now export a custom SOQL result to your WordPress environment and display it on a page

Features

• OAuth 2.0 Integration - I want to be able to click "Login with Salesforce!" through the WordPress admin and be authenticate and API user's credentials to any organization
• REST/SOAP Request - I want to handle REST/SOAP API request
• Error Handling - This plugin should handle any errors from API request, (i.e. ERROR: function is not available on this org when a request to your organization doesn't exist in a class )
• Flexibility - This plugin will serve as a foundation to many in-house projects so its purpose is to be simple, well-documented, and mostly invisible to the development process
