}What it does
Run up to 25 Salesforce REST subrequests as one call. optionally transactional (allOrNone) and chainable (@{referenceId.field}). Salesforce counts the whole call as ONE request against the org's own daily quota. Salesforce's own sub-limit of at most 5 query/sObject-collection subrequests per call is NOT enforced here. it would need us to parse each url to guess its kind, and Salesforce's own rejection names the rule better than a guess would. The outer HTTP status is always 200: inspect each result's httpStatusCodeuccessful subrequest, minimum 1
Request
Body
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
accountId | string | no | |
allOrNone | boolean | no | Roll the whole set back if any subrequest fails (Salesforce default: false) |
collateSubrequests | boolean | no | |
compositeRequest | array<object> | yes | |
↳ body | object | no | |
↳ httpHeaders | object | no | Per-subrequest headers (If-Match, Sforce-Auto-Assign, ...). Authorization is rejected -- subrequests inherit the connection's own token |
↳ method | enum | yes | One of: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD. |
↳ referenceId | string | yes | Referenced by sibling subrequests as @{thisId.Field} |
↳ url | string | yes | Full relative REST path, e.g. /services/data/v67.0/sobjects/Account/ -- note this endpoint wants the /services/data prefix and /composite/batch does not |

}Errors
Every error answers with the same envelope: an HTTP status, a machine code and a sentence.
400 | The body or a parameter failed validation. The details array names the field. |
401 | No key, a revoked key or a wrong header. Send x-api-key. |
402 | The wallet cannot cover this call. Top up or wait for the monthly grant. |
404 | The resource does not exist, or it is not yours. Both answer identically and cost nothing. |
429 | Over the per-minute quota of your tier. Back off and retry. |
5xx | Upstream refused or timed out. The call is not billed. |

Questions
What does Run up to 25 Salesforce REST subrequests as one call cost?
from 1 token per successful call, debited from your wallet after the response. Failed calls are free. Every account receives 1000 free tokens a month. 1 token per action that actually succeeded, with a floor of 1.
How do I authenticate?
Send your key in the x-api-key header. One key covers every metered endpoint; there is nothing to enable per endpoint.
Can I send an Authorization: Bearer token instead?
Not for a metered endpoint — those take the x-api-key header and nothing else. Bearer tokens belong to the account side: the dashboard and account APIs accept a JWT session, and castomapi-auth issues those through a standard OAuth2 handshake, with authorization code, client credentials and refresh grants. The auth service page covers it.
What are the limits?
10 requests a minute per IP with no key at all, 60 a minute on the free tier, 300 on Pro, 1200 on Enterprise. Above the no-key tier the quota is per account, across every endpoint.
