# REST Headers

Use REST if you’re using a language that isn’t strongly typed, like JavaScript.

For details on usage, syntax, and authentication, see the REST API Developer Guide.

REST headers available in the Tooling API WSDL are described in [REST Headers for Tooling API](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_tooling.meta/api_tooling/intro_api_tooling_rest_headers.htm "Tooling API provides a subset of the REST headers available in REST API.").

For examples of REST headers being used, see [REST Header Examples](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_tooling.meta/api_tooling/intro_rest_header_examples.htm "Use these examples to understand REST headers.").
