Hi all! I need help! I need to combine salesforce and alfresco. I want to use Rest api. Downloaded from the official version of the site the Enterprise version and Community version. But they do not have a folder api.Tell me what to do to take advantage of Rest api.

I am aware of no Alfresco to Salesforce integration that can be deployed with out significant work. A number of Alfresco partners have integrated Alfresco with Salesforce. Some have shared a lot of information about their integration.

Though dated, this webinar by Zivtech describes their tool that can help with your integration:

And here is a very up-to-date series of blog posts by TGS:

I know other partners have done this integration, but I don't see where they have documented it anywhere. If you are interested, an Alfresco sales rep could put you in touch.

There are two important technologies to learn in order to take advantage of our REST APIs:

* CMIS. Best introduction is this webinar:

http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/webcasts/2012/01/getting-started-with-cmis-2/

* WebScripts. The documentation here is pretty good:

http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/concepts/ws-architecture.html

Both technologies are covered as part of this book:

Good luck.

Thank you very much for these links. Some of them I have already studied. But the problem lies elsewhere. In the code, when working with the reference of api: / rest / content / or '/ service / api / login /, but these folders in the installed Alfresco I do not have, and I do not know how to install them. I downloaded the community version, and from the site and the Enterprise and shook his sources - there are no folders! And I can not use the codes for the integration. Может стоит купить у них лицензию, чтобы пользоваться апи и рест?

Maybe we should buy them a license to use the api and the Rest?

Do you mean a license to Alfresco Enterprise, or a license to SalesForce?

Last time I worked with the SalesForce platform (a number of years ago) you needed a developer license to access the APIs.

The REST API's necessary for this type of integration will be the same in Alfresco Enterprise and Alfresco Community, but if you subscribe to Alfresco Enterprise you can ask for pointers on how to solve your problem.

I can't provide further guidance because I'm not sure which API you are referring to.

I can not use the api on Alfresco, there is no way / rest / content / or '/ service / api / login / api for Alfresco. Tell me why I do not have opportunities to take advantage of Alfresco web services. I installed version and the Enterprise and the community - free of charge. What do I need to do to get started with Alfresco.

This URL will give you a list of REST endpoints you can use:

https://<your host and port>/alfresco/service/

Log in with your admin credentials.

There is a simple example here:
