Bulk API 2.0

Perform ingest and query operations with Salesforce Bulk API 2.0. The REST-based Bulk API 2.0 provides a programmatic option to asynchronously insert, upsert, query, or delete large datasets in your Salesforce org. This API is enabled by default for Performance, Unlimited, Enterprise, and Developer Editions. The API Enabled permission must be enabled on the profile assigned to users accessing an org or data via the API.

  • How Requests Are Processed

    Bulk API 2.0 ingest jobs allow you to upload records to your org by using a CSV file representation. Bulk API 2.0 query jobs return records based on the specified query. A Bulk API 2.0 job specifies which object is being processed (for example, Account or Opportunity) and what type of action is being used (insert, upsert, update, or delete). You process a set of records by creating a job that contains one or more batches.
