Setting Up a Salesforce Developer Edition Organization

First, you must obtain a Salesforce Developer Edition organization and enable Bulk API:

1. Obtain a Salesforce Developer Edition organization.

   If you're not already a member of the developer community, go to developer.salesforce.com/signup and follow the instructions for signing up for a Developer Edition account. Even if you already have an Enterprise Edition, Unlimited Edition, or Performance Edition account, it's strongly recommended that you use Developer Edition for developing, staging, and testing your solutions against sample data to protect your organization’s live data. This is especially true for applications that query, insert, update, or delete data (as opposed to simply reading data).

2. Enable Bulk API.

   You must have the “API Enabled” permission. This permission is enabled in the System Administrator profile.
