How to get all associated data with the salesforce account object in ruby on rails using restforce gem

Question

I am trying to fetch all the user data from the salesforce using restforce REST Api.I have salesforce account object. Now i would like to get all associated data with this account object.

Answer 1

This is a multi-step process:

1. Get the columns for the object:

    # get the describe for the Account object account_columns = client.describe('Account') # => { ... } 

2. Run a normal query:

    accounts = client.query("select #{account_columns} from Account where Id = 'someid'") # => #<Restforce::Collection> account = accounts.first # => #<Restforce::SObject> 

3. Access related objects:

    account.Owner
