Salesforce Metadata API in Practice

The Salesforce Metadata API is an extremely powerful way of accessing and updating Salesforce configuration information. Join us as we explain common applications of the Metadata API via three development scenarios: 1) creating a record type, setting it active and giving access of record types to profiles, 2) getting and setting field-level security, and 3) deployment of configuration/code using the Metadata API.

Is it possible to retrieve Articles from community, translate them and deploy it back with help of Metadata API

[@sanchitdua]

It's not possible to fetch the Change sets by any means.. You should rather fetch the Metadata components via Salesforce ANT Migration Tool.

[@YashAgarwalTech]

Can i create a change set by any means using code ?

[@sanchitdua]

+Yash Agarwal You should better use zip and unzip feature of Metadata API available in most of the languages like Java, .Net to perform file based manipulations similar to Force.com IDE, Mavensmate and Ant Migration Tool. As Change Set feature is only an internal tool between Sandbox and Production with a predefined connection setup.
