Consuming the API within Apex

If you are developing Apex classes, triggers or Visualforce controllers, you may call the FinancialForce Apex classes directly to integrate with FinancialForce. You do not need to go via the Web Services interface.

Note
There is a Force.com platform restriction that means you cannot use API calls in Visualforce controller constructors.

See "Documentation Resources for Force.com Developers" in the Salesforce Help for more information.
