Restforce::Bulk

Client for Salesforce Bulk API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'restforce-bulk'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install restforce-bulk

Usage

Query:

# Creating a query job and adding a batch, using CSV type
job   = Restforce::Bulk::Job.create(:query, 'Account', :csv)
batch = job.add_batch("select Id, Name from Account limit 10")

# wait for the batch to complete, then refresh data
batch.refresh
batch.completed? # => true

# query batches returns only one result
result = batch.results.first

# we can get the contents from the result
csv = result.content

# csv is a CSV::Table, now you can process it any way you want

CRUD operations

# Creating an upsert job, using XML type (default)
job = Restforce::Bulk::Job.create(:upsert, 'Account')

# Adding a batch
batch = job.add_batch([{ Id: nil, Name: "New Account" }, { Id: 'a0B29000000XGxf', Name: 'Old Account' }])

# wait for the batch to complete, then refresh data
batch.refresh
batch.completed? # => true

# get the results for each row
batch.results.each do |result|
  puts result.id      # Id of the result
  puts result.success # row successfully processed
  puts result.error   # error for row
end

Binary Attachments

# Creating an upsert job, either :zip_xml or :zip_csv are accepted
job = Restforce::Bulk::Job.create(:insert, 'Attachment', :zip_xml)

# Adding a batch, as an array of file data, with the following keys:
#   - full_filename: The full path to the file in your filesystem
#   - filename: The name of the attachment (can have folders in it)
#   - parent_id: The ID of the parent record for the attachment
batch = job.add_batch([{ full_filename: "<HOME_DIR>/Pictures/image.jpg", filename: "image.jpg", parent_id: "a0E29000000DzPy" }])

# wait for the batch to complete, then refresh data
batch.refresh
batch.completed? # => true

# get the results for each row
batch.results.each do |result|
  puts result.id      # Id of the result
  puts result.success # row successfully processed
  puts result.error   # error for row
end
