Where to get client_id and client_secret of Salesforce API for Rails 3.2.11

Asked 27/8, 2013 at 11:50 Answered 6/1, 2015 at 14:3

Solved ruby-on-rails salesforce databasedotcom-gem

I've been following a tutorial from: http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Accessing_Salesforce_Data_From_Ruby

But, I'm stuck with the part where you need to supply the keys:

host: login.salesforce.com        # Use test.salesforce.com for sandbox
client_secret: 1234567890         # This is the Consumer Secret from Salesforce
client_id: somebigidthinghere     # This is the Consumer Key from Salesforce
sobject_module: SFDC_Models       # See below for details on using modules
debugging: true                   # Can be useful while developing
username: [email protected]
password: mypasswordplusmysecuritytoken

Where can I get the client_secret and client_id. The tutorial from the official API site of Salesforce is kind of outdated. http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_rest/index.htm

And some other tutorials didn't even mention where to exactly get it.

I already created an account in http://developer.force.com/

And even created a custom app, correct me if I'm wrong.

Then don't know where to find the keys that I need.

Any workarounds will be appreciated.

See my detailed post about this here #12794802 – Topeka 18/3, 2015 at 0:43

When you log in to developer.force.com, In the left nav

Build -> 
  Create ->
    Apps

The bottom of that page has "Connected Apps". Click "New" to add the app you created. You'll set your callback URL, description etc. Once you hit save you'll see your consumer id and secret.

Thanks to you. Saved me a lot. – Perpetuate 27/8, 2013 at 15:18

If you've already created it, click 'edit'. On the next page, click 'save'. You'll be back at the same page as described by the answer here. – Wizened 3/9, 2014 at 9:10

The structure of the salesforce admin panel has changed slightly since this question was answered. Here is how you now access the screen referred to in the answer by trh:

How would you then get to the client id/secret from this screen? – Secretion 6/1, 2016 at 14:14

Very late to this party, but to answer @JacobHacker in case others get to this page: you would click the Connected App Name link (NOT "Edit" or "Manage"). So in the example you would click "Website". That takes you to a screen with the Key & Secret present. – Manx 26/7, 2017 at 22:56
