Kaizen #92 - Bulk Read in PHP SDK

Kaizen #92 - Bulk Read in PHP SDK

Heya! Welcome back to the PHP SDK fold in our Kaizen series.

In this post, we will explore how to use bulk read APIs and how to structure the criteria format for different field data types in PHP SDK based on v4 APIs. This will ease your process of handling large volumes of data in an efficient and streamlined manner. 

What does Bulk Read API do?

The Bulk Read API helps you to fetch large volumes of data that meet specific criteria in a single request. Unlike the GET Records API , which has a limitation of 200 records per call, the Bulk Read API allows you to extract bulk data, 200k records, for data synchronisation purposes. This prevents the need for you to fire multiple API calls which can easily drain your daily credits.

This Bulk Read is asynchronous, thus the result for your request will not be available immediately. So, you will have to either poll the bulk read job status API to know the status or specify a callback URL for Zoho CRM to send notifications regarding the process. 

The CRM system processes your request and returns the results in either a CSV or ICS (for Meetings/Events module) zipped file. To download your result, use the job ID given in the response of bulk read job API .

This entire process can be wrapped into three stages as given below, 
  • Creating a Bulk Read Job 
  • Checking the status of a Bulk Read Job
  • Downloading the CSV/ICS data zip

Create a Bulk Read Job

1. Adding Callback URL

To get notified of the progress and results of the bulk read job, add a callback URL to the request body using the following format. 
$requestWrapper = new RequestWrapper();

$callbackVar = new CallBack();

$callbackVar->setUrl(" your_callback_url ");

$callbackVar->setMethod(new Choice("post"));

$requestWrapper->setCallback($callbackVar);
The method for callback URL is typically set to POST as it helps the client to send the required data along with the url to handle the callback appropriately.

2. Structuring a Query

A query comprises multiple parameters such as your desired module, fields, custom view ID, page value, file-type and criteria.

A criterion is typically a filter/condition used in a query to narrow down the data to your desired set of records. Criteria can include one or more conditions and you can combine them using group operators like 'and' and 'or' to create more complex filtering logic. 

Each condition in the criteria comprises three components.
  • Field - It refers to the field API name of the record, which you want to use for filtering purpose.
  • Comparator - It determines how the value of the specified field has to be evaluated.
  • Value - It represents the value of the field against which the record has to be evaluated.
This helps you to retrieve only the relevant records, thereby optimising the performance and reducing the amount of data transferred.

To enhance the understanding of how to structure a criterion, it is necessary to address these group operators and comparators before delving into it.

Group Operators 

Group Operators are used to perform logical operations on multiple conditions within a query. They help you in grouping multiple conditions together to create complex search criteria.The possible group operators are 'and' and 'or'.
  • and - It specifies that all conditions within the group must be satisfied for a record to be included in the query result.
  • or - It specifies that any of the conditions within the group can be satisfied for a record to be included in the query result.
These operators provide flexibility in constructing queries and retrieve the desired set of records from your CRM system with ease.

Comparators

Comparators are used in a query condition to specify the type of comparison that should be performed between a field and a value. They define the relationship between the field and the value and determine how the records are filtered. Refer to this help document to find the possible comparators with their field datatypes. 

An example of each datatype is given in PHP for your better understanding. 
Data Type
Example
  Number

$conditionVar = new Criteria();
$field = new MinifiedFields();
$field ->setAPIName("Amount");
$conditionVar>setField($field);
$conditionVar->setComparator(new Choice("greater_than"));
$conditionVar->setValue(10000);
  Multi-select 

$conditionVar = new Criteria();
$field = new MinifiedFields();
$field ->setAPIName("owner");
$conditionVar>setField($field);
$conditionVar->setComparator(new Choice("in"));
$owner = ["5545974393001", "5545974393011"]
$conditionVar->setValue($owner);
  DateTime                                   

$conditionVar = new Criteria();
$field = new MinifiedFields();
$field->setAPIName("Created_Time");
$conditionVar>setField($field);
$conditionVar->setComparator(new Choice("between"));
$createdTime = [date_create("2023-05-01T17:58:47+05:30")->setTimezone(new \DateTimeZone(date_default_timezone_get())), date_create("2023-06-01T17:58:47+05:30")->setTimezone(new \DateTimeZone(date_default_timezone_get()))];
$conditionVar->setValue($createdTime);
  Boolean

$conditionVar = new Criteria();
$field = new MinifiedFields();
$field ->setAPIName("Email_Opt_Out");
$conditionVar>setField($field);
$conditionVar->setComparator(new Choice("equal"));
$conditionVar->setValue(false);
  Lookup

$conditionVar = new Criteria();
$field = new MinifiedFields();
$field ->setAPIName("owner.last_name");
$conditionVar>setField($field);
$conditionVar->setComparator(new Choice("equal"));
$conditionVar->setValue("Boyle");

Structuring Simple Criteria

Below is a query format with a simple criterion of two conditions to filter your records from the given module. 

$criteriaVar = new Criteria();

$criteriaVar->setGroupOperator(new Choice("operatorValue"));

$conditionVar1 = new Criteria();

$fieldVar = new MinifiedFields();

$fieldVar->setAPIName("Field_API_Name");

$conditionVar1->setField($fieldVar);

$conditionVar1->setComparator(new Choice("comparatorValue"));

$conditionVar1->setValue("Field_Value");

$conditionVar2 = new Criteria();

$field = new MinifiedFields();

$field->setAPIName("Field_API_Name");

$conditionVar2->setField($fieldVar);

$conditionVar2->setComparator(new Choice("comparatorValue"));

$conditionVar2->setValue("Field_Value");

$criteriaVar->setGroup([$conditionVar1,$conditionVar2]);

$query->setCriteria($criteriaVar);

$requestWrapper->setQuery($query);

In the above format, the group operator is used for two different conditions.

Following is the json format of this simple criteria.
{
    "query": {
        "criteria": {
            "group_operator": "operatorValue",
            "group": [
                {
                    "comparator": "comparatorValue",
                    "field": {
                        "api_name": "Field_API_Name"
                    },
                    "value": "Field_Value"
                },
                {
                    "comparator": "comparatorValue",
                    "field": {
                        "api_name": "Field_API_Name"
                    },
                    "value": "Field_Value"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

Structuring Complex Criteria

To structure a criterion with four different conditions follow the below format.

//top-level group criteria with 2 different groups comprising of 2 different conditions each

$criteria = new Criteria();

$criteria->setGroupOperator(new Choice("operatorValue"));

//group1 with 2 different conditions

$groupVar1 = new Criteria();

$groupVar1->setGroupOperator(new Choice("operatorValue"));

$conditionVar11 = new Criteria();

$field11 = new MinifiedFields();

$field11->setAPIName("Field_API_Name");

$conditionVar11->setField($field11);

$conditionVar11->setComparator(new Choice("comparatorValue"));

$conditionVar11->setValue("Value");

$conditionVar12 = new Criteria();

$field12 = new MinifiedFields();

$field12->setAPIName("Field_API_Name");

$conditionVar12->setField($field21);

$conditionVar12->setComparator(new Choice("comparatorValue"));

$conditionVar12->setValue("Value");

$groupVar1->setGroup([$conditionVar11, $conditionVar12]);

//group2 with 2 different conditions

$groupVar2 = new Criteria();

$groupVar2->setGroupOperator(new Choice("operatorValue"));

$conditionVar21 = new Criteria();

$field21 = new MinifiedFields();

$field21->setAPIName("Field_API_Name");

$conditionVar21->setField($field21);

$conditionVar21->setComparator(new Choice("comparatorValue"));

$conditionVar21->setValue("Value");

$conditionVar22 = new Criteria();

$field22 = new MinifiedFields();

$field22->setAPIName("Field_API_Name");

$conditionVar22->setField($field22);

$conditionVar22->setComparator(new Choice("comparatorValue"));

$conditionVar22->setValue("Value");

$groupVar2->setGroup([$conditionVar21, $conditionVar22]);

//pushing the groups to the top-level group criteria

$criteria->setGroup([$groupVar1, $groupVar2]);

In the above format, two group variables ($groupVar1 and $groupVar2) are created, each representing a nested group of conditions. Both the groups are further assigned to the top-level group variable ($criteria). 

The json arrangement of the above format is given for your clarity.
{
    "query": {
        "criteria": {
            "group_operator": "operatorValue",
            "group": [
                {
                    "group_operator": "operatorValue",
                    "group": [
                        {
                            "comparator": "comparatorValue",
                            "field": {
                                "api_name": "Field_API_Name"
                            },
                            "value": "Field_Value"
                        },
                        {
                            "comparator": "comparatorValue",
                            "field": {
                                "api_name": "Field_API_Name"
                            },
                            "value": "Field_Value"
                        }
                    ]
                },
                {
                    "group_operator": "operatorValue",
                    "group": [
                        {
                            "comparator": "comparatorValue",
                            "field": {
                                "api_name": "Field_API_Name"
                            },
                            "value": "Field_Value"
                        },
                        {
                            "comparator": "comparatorValue",
                            "field": {
                                "api_name": "Field_API_Name"
                            },
                            "value": "Field_Value"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
     }
}

The default file type is CSV. To bulk read the Events module always prefer the ICS file type. Refer to this resource to fetch the custom view IDs, module and field API names. 

Below is a sample code for creating a bulk read job with compound criteria. The criteria follow this arrangement ((1 and 2) or (3 or 4)) of conditions.

2. Status of a Bulk Read Job

To keep track of the status of your bulk read job, use the id provided in the details section of your bulk read job response. 

Here is a sample code for checking the status of a bulk read job.

<?php

use com\zoho\crm\api\bulkread\BulkReadOperations;

require_once "vendor/autoload.php";

class GetBulkReadJobDetails
{
public static function initialize()        
    {
        // Add initialisation code
        // Refer to this article for more help 
    }

    public static function getBulkReadJobDetails(string $jobId)
    {
        $bulkReadOperations = new BulkReadOperations();
        $response = $bulkReadOperations->getBulkReadJobDetails($jobId);
        //Add your code to handle the response received in $response
        // For more details, refer here.
    }
}
GetBulkReadJobDetails::initialize();
$jobId = "55459743108003";
GetBulkReadJobDetails::getBulkReadJobDetails($jobId);
?>

3. Download Bulk Read Result

To download your bulk read job result, use the job id mentioned in the bulk read job response. Additionally, provide the path of the destination folder where you would like to download the result. The result will be downloaded as a zip file containing CSV/ICS files.
Here is a sample code for downloading a bulk read job result.

<?php

namespace samples\bulkread;

use com\zoho\crm\api\bulkread\BulkReadOperations;

require_once "vendor/autoload.php";

class DownloadResult
{
public static function initialize()
    {
        // Add initialisation code
        // Refer to this article for more help  
    }
    public static function downloadResult(string $jobId, string $destinationFolder)
    {
        $bulkReadOperations = new BulkReadOperations();
        $response = $bulkReadOperations->downloadResult($jobId);
        $streamWrapper = $response->getObject()->getFile();
        fputs(fopen($destinationFolder . "/" . $streamWrapper->getName(), "w"), $streamWrapper->getStream());
        //Add your code to handle the response received in $response
        // For more details, refer here.
    }
}
DownloadResult::initialize();
$jobId = "55459743108003";
$destinationFolder = "/Downloads";
DownloadResult::downloadResult($jobId, $destinationFolder);
?>
