Generic API Operations in Salesforce (SOAP)
The following methods are provided in the Enterprise or Partner WSDL as generic core API calls that allow you primarily to perform CRUD actions on standard and custom Salesforce objects (also referred to as "data setup"). Refer to Salesforce Developer documentation for complete information on calling these methods. The examples provided on this page will aid you in performing CRUD actions and querying information from the Salesforce database to use in Conga API calls.
Retrieving the Server URL and Session Id (Login)
All API calls to your organization require you to authenticate with a valid Session Id.

Request: Pass the username and password for the user providing authentication.
