# Bulk operations added to the Admin GraphQL API

You can now retrieve large amounts of data from our Admin GraphQL API using bulk operations. Provide a standard GraphQL query to the [bulk mutation](https://help.shopify.com/en/api/graphql-admin-api/reference/mutation/bulkoperationrunquery?api%5Bversion%5D=2019-10) and you receive a link to a file that contains all of your data after the operation has finished running.

Find out more in the [bulk operation guide](https://help.shopify.com/en/api/guides/bulk-operations).
