Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

Bulk API

Bulk API is the predecessor to the current Bulk API 2.0. Although Bulk API gives you more fine-grained control over the specifics of jobs and batches, its work-flow is more complex than Bulk API 2.0. If the feature set and limits are a unique match to your project requirements, use Bulk API.
