How to get key prefix of an Object in Salesforce.

We know there are two types of record-id are present in salesforce.

  • 15 digit -- Case Sensitive
  • 18 digit -- Case Insensitive
Only 3 digit of ids represent object type .


for example 

  • Account-- 001
  • Contact-- 003
  • Opportunities --006
  • Lead  --- 00Q
How will get these prefix dynamically, I mean by using apex code ?

Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r = CustomObject__c.sObjectType.getDescribe();
String keyPrefix = r.getKeyPrefix();
System.debug('Printing --'+keyPrefix );
It will print prefix of Custom Object id.
