Usage

This object represents a value in the opportunity stage picklist, which provides additional information about the stage of a Opportunity, such as its probability or forecast category. Your client application can invoke the query() call on the OpportunityStage object to retrieve the set of values in the opportunity stage picklist, and then use that information while processing Opportunity objects to determine more information about a given opportunity. For example, the application could test whether a given opportunity is won or not based on its StageName value and the value of the IsWon property in the associated OpportunityStage object.

This object is read-only via the API. With sufficient permissions, your client application can invoke the query() and describeSObjects() calls on these objects.
