I was wondering if there was any way to get the API Server Url in apex code

ex . API.Partner_Server_URL_280

Or how to pass the value from VisualForce to apex.

I tried

<apex:param name="apiSessionId" value="{!$Api.Session_ID}" />
<apex:param name="apiServerURL" value="{!$Api.Partner_Server_URL_280}" /> 
<apex:outputText value="API Session Id: {!apiSessionId}"/><br></br>
<apex:outputText value="API Server URL: {!apiServerURL}"/><br></br>

and 

public class TestController {
    public String apiSessionId {get;set;}
    public String apiServerURL {get;set;}

    public TestController() {
    }
}

but my Visual force page always says nothing.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

  • I do not see anywhere in your code where you are actually performing any action to submit the values to the controller,

  • I would prefer not to do it that way. So I was wondering if there was any way to get the parameter just from the apex controller

You can pass those back to the controller with help of Action Functions check the below example

<apex:page controller="TestController1">

 <apex:includeScript value="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js" />

 <script type="text/javascript">
   $(document).ready(function() {
      passSessionParameters('{!$Api.Session_ID}','{!$Api.Partner_Server_URL_280}');
  });
</script>

   <apex:form id="theform">
    <apex:actionFunction action="{!GetSessionIdFromVF}" name="passSessionParameters" reRender="theform">
      <apex:param name="SessionID" assignTo="{!apiSessionId}" value=""  />
      <apex:param name="ServerURL" assignTo="{!apiServerURL}" value="" />
    </apex:actionFunction>
   </apex:form>
 </apex:page>

The apex class 

public class TestController1 {

public String apiSessionId {get;set;}
public String apiServerURL {get;set;}

public TestController1() {

}

  public pagereference GetSessionIdFromVF(){
  system.debug('%%%%'+apiSessionId );
  system.debug('%%%%'+apiServerURL );
  return null;
  }
}

How about a bit of the old component action?

ApiUrl.component

<apex:component>{!$Api.Partner_Server_URL_340}</apex:component>

Execute anonymous

PageReference pr = new PageReference('/apexcomponent/apiurl');
pr.getContent().toString();

gives you:

https://mydomain--c.eu2.visual.force.com/services/Soap/u/34.0/00D...

This is no direct access to $API in apex. To retrieve something like $Api.Partner_Server_URL_280 you can try this code: 

URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm() + '/services/Soap/u/28.0/' + UserInfo.getOrganizationId();

You can simply use UserInfo.getSessionId() to retrieve the session Id.

The Winter '19 release provided the new System.Url.getOrgDomainUrl() method.

Returns the canonical URL for your org. For example, https://yourDomain.my.salesforce.com or, for orgs without My Domain enabled, https://yourInstance.salesforce.com.

This is much easier to use than System.Url.getSalesforceBaseUrl() as it will adjust for My Domain being enabled. It will also handle a Visualforce context, which would otherwise alter the domain.

There is an example of how to use it in Streamline API Calls to Your Org from Apex Code:

Http h = new Http();
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setEndpoint(Url.getOrgDomainUrl().toExternalForm() + '/services/data/v44.0/limits');
req.setMethod('GET');
req.setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + UserInfo.getSessionId());
HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
