Here I will focusing for Rest API. I have created a different post which will describing the integration with Salesforce Soap API. You can find it from  here . And for the Tooling API you can find it from  here . 1st of all you need to create a connected app in Salesforce in order to make the bridge to integrate with console app.  A connected app integrates an external application with Salesforce using APIs. Connected apps use standard SAML and OAuth protocols to authenticate, provide single sign-on, and provide tokens for use with Salesforce APIs. So I have created a separate post which will describe how to create a connected app to get consumer id and consumer secret. Please follow  this   post to get consumer id and consumer secret.

This post has been written for the developers who are looking to fulfill the knowledge gap of the .NET core and Salesforce integration via streaming and rest api. So today I'm going to explain about the integration of .NET core console application and Salesforce streaming api which is using CometD event bus. .NET Core is a open source and cross platform implementation of the .net framework. It is maintained by Microsoft and the .net core has vast community of developers over on GitHub. What is Salesforce Streaming API ? Streaming API has publisher/subscriber model which enables streaming of events using push technology and provides a subscription mechanism for receiving events in real time. The Streaming API supports multiple types of events. Below I mentioned the event types. PushTopic events Generic events Platform events Change Data Capture events. Streaming Event features comparison which I taken from here . Push Topic Event as publish / subscribe model. If we ...
