Salesforce: How to get object api name from record Id using schema

 We can use Schema with Describe() method and get the object api name. Find the below example.

//pass the 18/15 characters recordId as parameter

public static string getObjectAPIName( String recordId ){

String objectAPI = '';

String keyPrefix = '';

keyPrefix = recordId.substring(0,3);//get 3 characters from recordId

//get list of org sobjects using global describe

for(Schema.SObjectType obj : Schema.getGlobalDescribe().Values() ){

String prefix = obj.getDescribe().getKeyPrefix();//get sobject prefix key

if(keyPrefix.equals(prefix)){

objectAPI = obj.getDescribe().getName();//get sobject api name

break;

}

}

return objectAPI;

}
