Abstract: Techniques are described for providing an application programming interface (API) that includes a bulk computing task operation. A bulk computing task operation enables users to request performance of any number of computing tasks using a single API request. To submit a bulk task request, a user generates or causes the generation of bulk task data describing a plurality of computing tasks to be executed by an application or service, and causes the bulk task data to be stored at an accessible storage location. A single bulk task API request can be generated that includes an identifier of the storage location at which the corresponding bulk task data is stored. The submission of a bulk task API request results in a synchronous response to the requesting client including an identifier of the request that can be used to request status updates, while processing the request can occur asynchronously using backend resources.
