Kaizen #12 - Bulk Read API

Kaizen #12 - Bulk Read API

Hello everyone!
We hope you all are having a wonderful start in the New Year!
Welcome back to another post in the Kaizen series!

In this post, we will discuss the Bulk Read API in detail.
​
What is the Bulk Read API?
​
The Bulk Read API allows you to export data from a module in Zoho CRM in bulk. The primary difference between the GET records API and the Bulk Read API is the number of records you can retrieve.
While you can get only 200 records per Get records API call, you can fetch 200,000 records per bulk read API call.

When should you use this API?

  • When you want to export more than 200 records through an API call.
  • When you want to perform background processes like migration, data backup, and initial data sync between Zoho CRM and external services.

What is the difference between GET Records API and Bulk Read API?

GET Records
Bulk Read API


You can fetch a maximum of 200 records per API call.


You can fetch a maximum of 200,000 records per API call.

The response is available instantly.

The response is not available instantly; the bulk read job is scheduled, and the status is available after job completion in the callback URL.

The records are available as JSON objects in the response.

The records are available in a downloadable CSV file or ICS file (for events).

What kind of export does the Bulk Read API support?

You can export 
  • Records available in a custom view. You can also apply the criteria on the records available in that custom view to filter the records further. Note that you cannot export records in the Co-owner, Shared by Me, and Shared to Me views.
  • Lookup fields of records in a module using the dot (.) operator.
  • Records in the events module as an ICS file.

How does the Bulk Read API work?

Scheduling a bulk read job encompasses the following steps.
  1. Creating a bulk read job.
  2. Getting the status of the scheduled job.
  3. Downloading the result.
We will now see each of these steps in detail.

Step-1: Creating a bulk read job

This involves making a POST API call to schedule a job to fetch records that match certain criteria, along with the required fields.
When this call is successful, the response returns an id. You can use this id to know the status of the job by polling, or check the job completion in the callback URL.

Request URL: {{api-domain}}/crm/bulk/v2/read
Request Method: POST

Consider an example where you want to export records from the Contacts module.
The below query fetches the records that matches one of the three criteria— 
  • The lead source is Advertisement (or)
  • The owner's last name is Boyle (or)
  • The phone number of the account associated with the contact contains the numbers 99807. 
The fields to be fetched are mentioned in the fields array. To fetch all fields in the module, do not input the fields key.

In this query, Account_Name is the default lookup field in the Contacts module. Owner.last_name returns the last name of the owner of the contact, Account_Name returns the ID and Account_Name.Account_Name returns the name of the account associated with the contact, and Account_Name.Phone returns the phone number of the account associated with the contact.

{
    "callback": {
        "url": "https://www.example.com/callback",
        "method": "post"
    },
    "query": {
        "module": "Contacts",
        "fields": [
            "Last_Name",
            "Owner",
            "Owner.last_name",
            "Account_Name.Account_Name",
            "Account_Name.Phone",
            "Lead_Source",
            "Created_Time"
        ],
        "criteria": {
            "group_operator": "or",
            "group": [
                {
                    "api_name": "Lead_Source",
                    "comparator": "equal",
                    "value": "Advertisement"
                },
                {
                    "api_name": "Owner.last_name",
                    "comparator": "equal",
                    "value": "Boyle"
                },
                {
                    "api_name": "Account_Name.Phone",
                    "comparator": "contains",
                    "value": "99807"
                }
            ]
        },
        "page": 1
    }
}

            }
        }
    ],
    "info": {}
}

For more details and examples, refer to the Create Bulk Read Job page of our API guide.


Step-2: Getting the status of the scheduled bulk read job 


The bulk read API supports polling and callback.

Polling 
You can poll (check the status of the scheduled bulk read job) with the job ID you received in the previous step.
If you do not want to poll for the status of the job, you can wait for the system to notify you of job completion on the callback URL provided in the POST request.

Request URL: {{api-domain}}/crm/bulk/v2/read/{job_id}
Request Method: GET

The response contains the status of the scheduled job as either ADDED, IN PROGRESS, or COMPLETED.
When the job is complete, the response contains the result JSON object with the keys page, count, more_records, and download_url.
You can also find the download_url in the callback response from which you can download the zip file containing the CSV or ICS file.
If the more_records key is true, there are more records you need to export. Simply change the value of the key page in the POST request, and schedule another bulk read job to fetch the next set of records.
The download_url contains the URL to download the CSV file. Follow the instructions in step-3 to download the CSV file.
Here's a sample response to the above query when the job is completed.

{
    "data": [
        {
            "id": "3652397000000646004",
            "operation": "read",
            "state": "COMPLETED",
            "result": {
                "page": 1,
                "count": 3,
                "download_url": "/crm/bulk/v2/read/3652397000000646004/result",
                "per_page": 200000,
                "more_records": false
            },
            "query": {
                "fields": [
                    "Last_Name",
                    "Owner",
                    "Owner.last_name",
                    "Account_Name.Account_Name",
                    "Account_Name.Phone",
                    "Lead_Source",
                    "Created_Time"
                ],
                "module": "Contacts",
                "criteria": {
                    "group_operator": "or",
                    "group": [
                        {
                            "api_name": "Lead_Source",
                            "comparator": "equal",
                            "value": "Advertisement"
                        },
                        {
                            "api_name": "Owner.last_name",
                            "comparator": "equal",
                            "value": "Boyle"
                        },
                        {
                            "api_name": "Account_Name.Phone",
                            "comparator": "contains",
                            "value": "99807"
                        }
                    ]
                },
                "page": 1,
                "cvid": "554023000000093005"
            },
            "created_by": {
                "id": "554023000000235011",
                "name": "Patricia Boyle"
            },
            "created_time": "2019-05-09T14:01:24+05:30"
        }
    ]
}
The other possible values for the key state are 
  • ADDED - Indicates that the job is scheduled.
  • IN PROGRESS - Indicates that the job is under processing.
Note that only a completed job will have the download URL in its response.

Callback
If you do not want to poll for the status of the job, you can wait for the system to notify you of job completion on the callback URL provided in the POST request.
  • The state indicates the successful completion ("state":"COMPLETED") or failure ("state":"FAILED") of the job.
  • The callback response will also contain the download URL if the job was completed successfully.
Below is a sample callback response for a completed job.

{
    "job_id": "554023000000568002",
    "operation": "read",
    "state": "COMPLETED",
    "query": {
        "module": "Contacts",
        "criteria": {
            "group": [
                {
                    "api_name": "Lead_Source",
                    "comparator": "equal",
                    "value": "Advertisement"
                },
                {
                    "api_name": "Owner.last_name",
                    "comparator": "equal",
                    "value": "Boyle"
                },
                {
                    "api_name": "Account_Name.Phone",
                    "comparator": "contains",
                    "value": "99807"
                }
            ],
            "group_operator": "or"
        },
        "page": 1,
        "fields": [
            "Last_Name",
            "Owner",
            "Owner.last_name",
            "Account_Name.Account_Name",
            "Account_Name.Phone",
            "Lead_Source",
            "Created_Time"
        ],
        "cvid": "554023000000093005"
    },
    "result": {
        "page": 1,
        "count": 1588,
        "download_url": "/crm/bulk/v2/read/554023000000568002/result",
        "per_page": 200000,
        "more_records": false
    }
}

For more details, refer to the Get Bulk Read Job Details page of our API guide.

This is the final step to complete exporting records from a module in Zoho CRM.
Make a GET request to the download_url you received in the response of step-2.

Step-3: Downloading the CSV file
Request URL: {{api-domain}}/crm/bulk/v2/read/{job_id}/result
Request Method: GET
This request downloads the zip file. Extract it to get the CSV or ICS file.

Limitations

  • Only 10 requests for download are allowed for a one-minute interval. Crossing the limit throws the error with the HTTP code 429. All subsequent downloads will be unsuccessful.
  • After completing the bulk read job, you can access the downloadable file only for a period of one day. After that, you cannot access the file via the endpoints.
  • You can specify a maximum of 200 select fields via an endpoint. If you specify more than that, the system exports all fields available in that module.
  • The maximum value of the page key in the export request body is 500.
  • You can specify a maximum of 25 criteria in a query. This also includes the number of criteria in a custom view or a standard view. For example, if you specify the ID of the standard view "My converted Leads", which uses two criteria, the remaining criteria that you can use in the query will be 23.
  • in and not_in comparators can accept up to 20 values. For example: 'Lead Status' - 'in' - 'Cold,Warm,Hot,Junk,Contacted,Not Contacted,....(20 values)'.
  • You cannot retrieve multi-line, multi-select lookup fields.
  • Custom views in the Activities module, Co-Owner view in the Contacts module, the standard views Shared By Me and Shared To Me are not supported in this API.

For more details, refer to the Limitations page of our API guide.
