Integration & APIs
Salesforce Bulk API
A specialized API designed for loading or querying large volumes of data asynchronously.
Complete Definition
Salesforce Bulk API is designed for processing large amounts of data (thousands or millions of records) asynchronously. Unlike REST API, which is optimized for single-record operations, Bulk API processes data in batches and is ideal for data migrations, nightly imports, and large data extracts. Bulk API 2.0 offers improved performance and simplified job monitoring.
Key Points
- 1Optimized for millions of records
- 2Asynchronous processing
- 3Does not count against standard API limits
- 4Required for large-scale data operations
