The Tooling API has EntityDefinition, which includes the FieldSets field. From FieldSet should should be able to get:

  • Description
  • DeveloperName
  • MasterLabel
  • NamespacePrefix

I tried the following SOQL query against the Tooling API with some success:

Select Id, KeyPrefix, Label, QualifiedApiName, (Select DeveloperName from FieldSets) From EntityDefinition where QualifiedApiName = 'Case'

If I omit the where clause I get a GACK 843676008-103722 (-365459068), which is always fun.

To get the data equivalent to the Apex FieldSetMember class you may need to do one of:

  1. Create a Metadata package to retrieve the FieldSet and FieldSetItem. This would only give you the API name of the field, if it is required, and if it is a managed field. You would need to look elsewhere in the meta data for the label etc...
  2. Create your own Apex web method or REST API that exposes the required data. See Is it possible to get an objects fieldsets with the REST API?
