Salesforce API: get the time on the Salesforce server

With the Salesforce API, is there a way to get the current time on the Salesforce server?

Solution

  • Yes, you can use the getServerTimestamp() method:

    In C#:

    // binding is of type SforceService 
GetServerTimestampResult timestamp = binding.getServerTimestamp();

    In Java:

    // connection is of type EnterpriseConnection 
GetServerTimestampResult timestamp = connection.getServerTimestamp();

    See Salesforce API Docs: getServerTimestamp().
