Playforce Query
What this tool is
Playforce Query is a Complementary (free) lightweight SOQL query tool focused on fast iteration and editing.
It’s written in Node.js and distributed as source:
- • Clone the repo
- • Run it locally in your Node environment
- • No Salesforce CLI required
You’ll need an External Client App configured in Salesforce.
Both OAuth 2.0 Web Server Flow (Authorization Code) and Client Credentials are supported.
After that, everything is pretty intuitive and covers ~99% of the SOQL work needed for analysis, debugging, and assisting automation development.
