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
data sets in your Salesforce org. This API is enabled by default for Performance, Unlimited,
Enterprise, and Developer Editions. The “API Enabled” permission must be
enabled.

How Requests Are Processed
Bulk ingest jobs allow you to upload records to your org by using a CSV file representation. Bulk query jobs return records based on the specified query. A Bulk API 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. Whether you create an ingest or query job, Salesforce automatically optimizes your request to process the job as quickly as possible and to minimize timeouts or other failures. -
Limits
Learn about the importance of limits, and compare the limits and allocations of Bulk API 2.0 and Bulk API. For Bulk API 2.0, we simplified limits, which are available to clients via the REST API /limits endpoint. -
Quick Start: Bulk API 2.0
Get up and running with Bulk API 2.0 by sending a few requests to Salesforce. This Quick Start takes you from setting up a basic environment to inserting, upserting, and querying records using Bulk API 2.0. Experience how to use Bulk API 2.0 via cURL in a free Salesforce Developer Edition org by authenticating and following the examples. -
Bulk API 2.0 Ingest
With Bulk API 2.0, you can insert, update, upsert, or delete large data sets. Prepare a comma-separated value (CSV) file representation of the data you want to upload, create a job, upload job data, and let Salesforce take care of the rest within your org. -
Bulk API 2.0 Query
Bulk query jobs enable asynchronous processing of SOQL queries. They’re designed to handle queries that return large amounts of data (10,000 records or more). -
Bulk API 2.0 End-of-Life
Salesforce is committed to supporting each API version for a minimum of three years from the date of first release. In order to mature and improve the quality and performance of the API, versions that are more than three years old might cease to be supported. -
