Core Bulk
The Bulk API is expected to be used with a large number of Rows. The bulk process runs asynchronously and calls an Automation Endpoint on completion. Its best to use this when you are expecting a process to run over for more than a minute.
There are three parts to this API
- Input - is expected to be a large list of JSON Objects.
- Functions - a list of any of the Core Functions in the function JSON representation format defined here
- Output - An output definition for each of the items in the Input list
There is a minor difference in the way the functions list is created. Follow the example in the API for clarity. This will be aligned in future releases of the bulk API.
Name | Description |
completion | Required - The API will be rejected without a valid Automation url. This is where the output along with the "process_name" will be sent as a POST resquest |
progress | Optional - Use this to track the progress of API. This works in conjunction with progress_rows and sends a progress notification for every n rows (100 in this example) |
error | Optional - Useful to track any failure. The error notification works on every item of the list that is being processed. Any error will not stop processing but will send a notification to he url specified and continue to process the remaining items. |
