Bulk API Exports: Deep Dive
Bulk API exports are the backbone of large-scale data extraction in Eloqua. They provide a reliable, asynchronous way to move high‑volume data out of the platform and into downstream systems such as data warehouses, CDPs, analytics environments, and machine learning pipelines. Unlike the REST API, which is optimized for real‑time interactions and small payloads, the Bulk API is designed for throughput, structure, and repeatability. Understanding how exports work, how they are constrained, and how to design them effectively is essential for any integration that depends on Eloqua data at scale.
1. Purpose of Bulk API Exports
Bulk API exports support high‑volume, structured data retrieval and are used whenever an integration needs to extract large datasets or maintain ongoing synchronization with Eloqua.
