What does the following URI represent in a REST API call: https://naxx.salesforce.com/services/data/v37.0/sobjects/account/0010000000acdee?

The URI provided represents an endpoint for accessing a specific Account record within the Salesforce platform through its REST API. In this case, the segment "sobjects/account/0010000000acdee" specifies that the request is targeting a particular Account object identified by its unique identifier, or ID, which is "0010000000acdee."

In RESTful APIs, URIs are designed to facilitate interaction with different resources. Each segment of the URI delineates specific components, such as the base URL for the Salesforce instance, the version of the API being used (v37.0), and the resource type (in this case, 'sobjects' followed by 'account'). By using this specific URI, a client can perform operations such as retrieving the details of that Account record, updating it, or deleting it, depending on the HTTP method used in the call.

This structure and the clear identification of the resource make it easy for developers to access and manipulate data within Salesforce effectively.
