Best way to bulk upload?

Questions
21

We just pushed an API call to do bulk uploads which is much faster. It requires some coding, but it’s pretty quick.

Thanks, I’ll check it out

The limit is only 1,000 items (which i am assuming is not records, but field data, so 10 records with 10 fields would be 100 items).

So this is also very limiting. Perhaps I just don’t understand the technical limitations, but it seems odd that Bubble needs to throttle down this low. What am I missing?

1,000 items is 1,000 records.

And you can do that more than once, one you have the call you can repeat the operation.

ok thanks. Is it feasible for someone to build a plugin to handle this without coding?

Hi all , Just following up on this. Whats the fastest way to load 10,000 records? Does anyone have instructions on how to use the “bulk” option, presuming it can help load faster ? Thanks

So… +10000000 to this being absurd. Data under 100,000 is an insanely low, and the fact that your fastest way, via API, is just for 1,000 records… wow. This is such an incredible deal-breaker I just really don’t understand how anyone is using Bubble for a real site w/ database.

So happy I discovered this right away, so I can abandon this platform… I’m still shocked by what a miss this is by Bubble. If any fixes have been published, let me know!

Checking to see if the limit is still 1,000 or if it has been raised.

Really, really need some speed on the CSV upload. Where can we point to this as a much needed update?

Did anyone figure out how to upload efficiently? Uploading 50,000 records and it’s taking almost half a day

at a anticorruption hackathon right now in Mexico. Wanted to upload data from government about contracts buyers etc. then build a dashboard. Hundreds of thousands of records over a two year period.

The upload is ridiculously slow. Maybe Bubble can send us their fax number so we can send in the data a bit faster? why is this a paid feature, i wonder.

Complete dealbreaker, why do we have to pay for this feature if its so bad?

Use the data API, write a script to cycle through the data and send it through an API call.

Ali - How do I do that? I have tried formatting the POST request every way possible but just cannot get it to work.
