Salesforce Apex REST API is one of 294 APIs that [Salesforce](https://apis.io/providers/salesforce/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include APEX, CRM, Custom APIs, Development, and REST. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, a getting-started guide, and an API reference.

Salesforce Apex REST enables developers to expose custom Apex classes as RESTful web services. By annotating Apex classes and methods with @RestResource and HTTP method annotations, developers can create custom API endpoints that extend Salesforce functionality.
