# Get Started with Data 360 Connect API

**note:** As of October 14, 2025, Data Cloud has been rebranded to Data 360. During this transition, you may see references to Data Cloud in our application and documentation. While the name is new, the functionality and content remains unchanged.

Salesforce Data 360 Connect REST API creates business value by organizing and simplifying interactions with Data 360 services. It's the preferred platform for customers to construct solutions on top of Data 360, offering uniform implementation and testing practices.

Use the [Data 360 Connect REST API Postman collection](https://www.postman.com/salesforce-developers/workspace/salesforce-developers/collection/12721794-fa94cb66-3cb1-41e1-ad4b-7c0ec34bb430) to try out Data 360 Connect REST API resources with your own variables.

The [Connect REST API Developer Guide](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.chatterapi.meta/chatterapi/intro_working_with_chatter_connect.htm) contains additional information about how to get started using Connect API.
