How do I get a contact's sales from Salesforce using the API?

I'm looking through the API for Salesforce and trying to get familiar with it for a project I'll be working on.

Everything looks fine, I can get a Contact, a Case, an Event, a Lead, etc.

The only thing I don't see in the API is a way to get the actual sales data for a contact. I figured it would be one of the main methods available, but I can't find anything about it.

I don't know if there's a different name for a Sale object, or if I have to use some other method. Can someone lead me in the right direction?

SalesForce refers to sales data as an Opportunity. Opportunities move through stages. To tell if an Opportunity has been converted to a sale you can check Opportunity.IsWon field.

As you can see here, you can find opportunities for a contact using the many-to-many OpportunityContactRole table. (OpportunityContactRole.ContactId <-> Opportunity.Id).
