Headers

Headers

These are the custom HTTP request and response headers that are used for Bulk API.

Content Type Header
Batch Retry Header
Line Ending Header
PK Chunking Header

Content Type Header
Use the Content Type header to specify the format for your request and response. Set the value of this header to match the contentType of the job you’re working with.
Batch Retry Header
Line Ending Header
PK Chunking Header
Use the primary key (PK) chunking request header to enable automatic PK chunking for a bulk query job. PK chunking splits bulk queries on large tables into chunks based on the record IDs, or primary keys, of the queried records.
Warning Header
This header is returned if there are warnings, such as the use of a deprecated version of the API.
Sforce Call Options Header
Use the Sforce Call Options header to specify client-specific options when accessing Bulk API resources.
