Does anyone know is it possible to enable SOAP API for Group and Professional editions with OAuth 2.0 (connected app) authentication?

I cannot find this info directly in the documentation. What stated is the following:

  1. You can also request that a connected app be whitelisted to use the REST API in GE or PE organizations. --- This is only about REST.

  2. SOAP based Web services can be enabled using an API token called a Client ID, which needs to be appended to your SOAP headers in integration calls. This special key enables your app to successfully make calls to GE/PE even if the customer does not have API access. --- It is not clear will SOAP API work with OAuth access token or only via direct credentials login.

Thanks in advance!

    Client ID is for ISVs to bypass the PE API restriction, and only available through special arrangement.

It will work (Assuming you have somehow gotten API access on PE, which is a licensing arrangement with Salesforce) however you need to ensure the OAuth setup includes the appropriate 'api' scope:

http://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=remoteaccess_oauth_scopes.htm&language=en_US

The appropriate bit:

The scope parameter enables you to fine-tune what the client application can access in a Salesforce organization. The valid values for scope are:

api

Allows access to the current, logged-in user’s account using APIs, such as REST API and Bulk API. This value also includes chatter_api, which allows access to Chatter REST API resources.

'Such as' also includes the SOAP API.

  • Thanks, Steven. So I suppose that I will receive ClientID as a result of licensing arrangement which can be done after security review, right? Yes, in almost all places I find REST API notion and SOAP is masked under "Such as" or sort of phrases. That is why I decided to clarify.
