# How Requests Are Processed

Bulk API 2.0 ingest jobs allow you to upload records to your org by using a CSV file representation. Bulk API 2.0 query jobs return records based on the specified query. A Bulk API 2.0 job specifies which object is being processed (for example, Account or Opportunity) and what type of action is being used (insert, upsert, update, or delete). You process a set of records by creating a job that contains one or more batches.

    When you create job requests with Bulk API 2.0, Salesforce provides a job “state” to describe the progress or outcome of the job. Learn how to check and interpret each status.
