About URIs

You send HTTP requests to a URI to perform operations with Bulk API.

The URI where you send HTTP requests has the following format:

Web_Services_SOAP_endpoint_instance_name/services/async/APIversion/Resource_address

Think of the part of the URI through the API version as a base URI which is used for all operations. The part after the API version (Resource_address) varies depending on the job or batch being processed. For example, if you're working with version 49.0 of Bulk API on your instance, your base URI would be https://yourInstance.salesforce.com/services/async/49.0.

The instance name for your organization is returned in the LoginResult serverUrl field.
