Bulk API and Bulk API 2.0

Changed Calls

In Bulk API 2.0, Use the New Format for the Locator Value

For query jobs, the Sforce-Locator header’s value is now a pseudo-random string (instead of a number). This change prevents the mistake of trying to guess what the value is without actually retrieving it.

In Bulk API 2.0, Use Assignment Rules When Creating or Upserting Leads and Contacts

You can now trigger an assignment rule by specifying the assignment rule ID when creating a job.

Changed Limits

Use More Bulk Requests

For both Bulk API and Bulk API 2.0, the limit for the number of batches has increased from 10,000 to 15,000 per day.

Note

In Bulk API, batches are used by both ingest and query operations. In Bulk API 2.0, batches are only used by ingest operations.

For both Bulk API and Bulk API 2.0, the limit for the number of records that can be processed for ingest operations has increased from 100 million to 150 million per day.
