Fetch Records By LIST VIEW Id In Apex

Hello friends, today we are going to discuss Fetch Records By LIST VIEW Id In Apex. A LIST view is essentially a filtered and organized representation of data in a Salesforce object. It allows users to define a set of criteria and sorting options to display only the records that meet those criteria. LIST views are commonly used to provide users with a focused and customizable view of data.

One common task in Apex development is retrieving records from a Salesforce object based on specific criteria. While SOQL (Salesforce Object Query Language) is commonly used for querying data, there’s an often overlooked approach that can simplify the process – fetching query results by using a LIST view ID.

Also, check this: Invoke Tooling API From LWC Salesforce

Key Highlights :

1. We use Tooling API to fetch query of any LIST view Id and then execute.
2. Tooling API allows developers to dynamically query metadata information using SOQL.
3. We can call Tooling API by REST API in APEX.
4. Use Userinfo.GetSessionId for Authorization.
