Kaizen #13 - Bulk Write API

Kaizen #13 - Bulk Write API

Hello everyone!

Welcome to yet another post in the Kaizen series.
This week, we are going to discuss the Bulk Write API.

What is the Bulk Write API?

The bulk write API allows you to insert, update, and upsert records in a module in Zoho CRM in bulk. The primary difference between the bulk write API, and the Insert, Update, Upsert records API, is the number of records that you can handle. 

While you can insert, update, and upsert, only 100 records via the Insert, Update, and Upsert Records API per call, you can handle 25000 records via a Bulk Write API call.

When you should use the Bulk Write API?
  1. When you want to insert, update, or upsert more than 100 records per API call. 
  2. When you want to perform background processes like migration and initial data sync between Zoho CRM and external services.
Below are the differences between Insert, Update, Upsert Records API and the Bulk Write API.

Insert, Update, Upsert Records
Bulk Write API
You can insert, update, or upsert only 100 records per API call.
You can insert, update, or upsert 25000 records per API call.
The response is available instantly.
The response is not available instantly; the bulk write job is scheduled, and the status is available after job completion in the callback URL.
You will receive a success response. 
A downloadable ZIP file containing a CSV file, is available with ID, status, and errors if any.

How does the Bulk Write API work?

To insert, update, or upsert records in bulk, follow the below steps:

  1. Prepare your CSV file
  2. Upload your file
  3. Create a bulk write job
  4. Check the job status
  5. Download the result
Now, let us see each step in detail.

1. Prepare your CSV file

The Bulk Write API only accepts a CSV file compressed into a ZIP file as input. The first row should contain the field API names. Refer to the field metadata API, to get the field API names. Each subsequent row contains the data to be written in Zoho CRM. You can insert, update, or upsert records only in a single module through one bulk write API call. Refer to attachments to get a sample ZIP file to bulk-insert contacts.

Use the dot(.) operator to link the record. For instance, if there is an account lookup in the Contacts module, you can give the column name as Account.id
Ex: Account.id : 4150868000001136302

Note:
Multiselect and User datatype fields are not supported in Bulk Write.

Here is a sample content for a CSV file with different field types.



Note:
  1. To give multiple values for a multi-select pick list field, enclose them in double quotes("") and separate each value with the semicolon(;).
  2. If your multi-line field has more than one line, input them directly by enclosing them in double quotes("").
2. Upload your CSV file

This involves making a POST API call, with the ZIP file containing the required data. The file is passed as form-data input, with key as file. When the call is successful, you will receive a file_id which you can further use to create a bulk write job.

Headers

Header Name
Description
feature
bulk-write
X-CRM-ORG
Your zgid which you get from the organization API.




3. Create a bulk write job

In this step, make a POST API call with the file_id obtained from the previous step, the callback URL, operation type (insert, update, upsert), module, and field API names. When the call is successful, you will receive a job ID in the response. You can use this ID in another request to poll for the status of the job.

Using field metadata API, you can get which fields can be set as unique fields in the CRM.



4. Check job status

The Bulk Write API supports polling and callback. 

Polling
You can poll to check the status of the scheduled bulk write job with the job ID you received in the previous step.

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



Sample Response

  1. The status can be either ADDED, INPROGRESS, or COMPLETED. Only the COMPLETED jobs will have the "download-URL" key in the response. 
  2. The "file" JSON object in the response represents the total count of records (added, skipped, updated). If the status is mentioned as "skipped" for any record, the reason will be displayed under the ERRORS column, in the downloaded ZIP file. 
{
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "character_encoding": "UTF-8",
  "resource": [
    {
      "status": "COMPLETED",
      "type": "data",
      "module": "Contacts",
      "field_mappings": [
        {
          "api_name": "Email",
          "index": 1,
          "format": null,
          "find_by": null,
          "module": null,
          "default_value": null
        },
        {
          "api_name": "Last_Name",
          "index": 0,
          "format": null,
          "find_by": null,
          "module": null,
          "default_value": {
            "name": null,
            "module": null,
            "value": "DefaultValue"
          }
        },
        {
          "api_name": "Phone",
          "index": 2,
          "format": null,
          "find_by": null,
          "module": null,
          "default_value": null
        }
      ],
      "file": {
        "status": "COMPLETED",
        "name": "Contacts.csv",
        "added_count": 7,
        "skipped_count": 0,
        "updated_count": 0,
        "total_count": 7
      }
    }
  ],
  "id": "4150868000001060014",
  "callback": {
    "method": "post"
  },
  "result": {
  },
  "created_by": {
    "id": "4150868000000225013",
    "name": "Patricia Boyle"
  },
  "operation": "insert",
  "created_time": "2020-01-03T15:19:52+05:30"
}

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.

5. Download the result

In this step you can get the result of the bulk write job in a ZIP containing the CSV file. Call the 'download_url' to download the result. The CSV file will contain the first three mapped columns from the uploaded file, and three more columns—STATUS, RECORD_ID, and ERRORS.

Request URL: {{api-domain}}/crm/bulk/v2/write/{job_id}/result

Sample Response



You can see that out of four records, one was skipped because the unique field had a duplicate value.

Limitations
  • You can upload only one ZIP file per bulk write API call.
  • You can bulk write to only one module per API call.
  • The size of the ZIP file being uploaded must not exceed 25 MB. If the file size exceeds the size limit, you must split the file and schedule it as multiple bulk write jobs. Also, you can bulk write only up to 25000 records with 200 column headers per bulk write API call.
  • Every successfully scheduled bulk write job reduces 500 credits from your daily credit limit. 
  • All the mandatory fields must be given in the CSV file if you are trying to insert records. Similarly, ID is mandatory when you are trying to update records.
  • Subforms are not supported in Bulk Write.
  • Consider that you have a lookup field in the Leads module, that looks up to other leads. You cannot have the value of this field as another Lead that is being written in this bulk write job. In other words, you can only lookup to an existing lead.
    For limitations, refer to limitations in our API guide.
