When should we use Bulk Retrieval API?
Last updated: June 21, 2026
Short answer
Use Bulk Retrieval API when the customer wants to fetch data Kernel already has, rather than submit a new enrichment workflow for each record.
This is a retrieval pattern, not a new enrichment request pattern.
Best fit
- Data is already enriched in Kernel.
- The customer needs programmatic access at scale.
- The workflow can query by available IDs.
- The destination system will consume returned data directly.
What to send support
- Lookup IDs available.
- Fields needed.
- Expected volume and cadence.
- Destination system.
- Whether the target data is already enriched.
