User reviews

The Salesforce Show Api Name Chrome extension is praised for its simplicity, helpfulness, and compatibility with both Classic and Lightning Salesforce platforms. Users find it very useful for quickly viewing API names and record IDs, saving time in development tasks. However, several reviews highlight concerns about the extension being outdated and unmaintained since 2021, leading to missing newer Salesforce objects.
