# Bulk API 2.0 Query

Bulk query jobs enable asynchronous processing of SOQL queries. They’re designed to handle queries that return large amounts of data (2,000 records or more).

Bulk API 2.0 query limits are described in [Bulk API and Bulk API 2.0 Limits and Allocations](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.salesforce_app_limits_cheatsheet.meta/salesforce_app_limits_cheatsheet/salesforce_app_limits_platform_bulkapi.htm) in the *Salesforce Developer Limits and Allocations Quick Reference*.
