Bulk Data API - new user questions
Hi, we have just started using the Bulk Data API to get data from production and our team have a couple of questions that hopefully are simple to answer. We can't find the answers in the docs or here so sorry if these are covered somewhere else.
1. fromDate and toDate is what we’re using to fetch the data. Just not entirely sure if it maps to the timestamp of event.time.ms or if it’s another timestamp (i.e. when event was processed, when event was made available for export, etc).
2. Does this endpoint paginate results in any way or is it always one giant dump?
Thanks!
- You are right. The fromDate and toDate are mapped to the event.time.ms timestamp.
event.time.ms - represent the time of user activity occurred in the community (in UTC). - Bulk API won’t support pagination, it is always whole data served as a stream for the requested timestamp.
Hope this helps.
