# Create a Job

Creates a job that represents the bulk operation for loading data into the Data 360 org.

Creating a [data stream](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360\_a_data_ingestion.htm\&type=5) in Data 360 is a prerequisite for creating a job. When the job is created it’s ready to accept data for processing via [Upload Job Data](/docs/data/data-cloud-int/references/data-cloud-ingestionapi-ref/c360-a-api-upload-job-data.md) request.

- URI

  - : `{instance_url}`/api/v1/ingest/jobs

    Use the `instance_url` from the Data 360 token exchange response. See [Get Started with Ingestion API](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/data/data-cloud-int/references/data-cloud-ingestionapi-ref/c360-a-api-get-started.md).
