Can I create a new remote site setting through apex code ?

I get the endpoint where the request has to be sent at runtime. Later i want to send an HTTP post request to this endpoint, so I have to create a remote site setting too at runtime.

Is there a way to create a remote site setting through apex code?

Solution

  • I don't believe there is a way to do what you're asking (I couldn't find one). To allow creating Remote Site Settings using Apex would create a lot of security problems; that is probably why it's not allowed.

    However, I was able to find a question and answer with some recommendations that relate to this question.
