--- title: currentBulkOperation - GraphQL Admin description: |- Returns the current app's most recent [`BulkOperation`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/BulkOperation). Apps can run one bulk query and one bulk mutation operation at a time per shop. The operation type parameter determines whether to retrieve the most recent query or mutation bulk operation. Use this query to check the operation's status, track its progress, and retrieve the result URL when it completes. api_version: 2026-04 source_url: html: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/queries/currentbulkoperation md: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/queries/currentbulkoperation.md --- # current​Bulk​Operation query Deprecated.

Returns the current app's most recent [`BulkOperation`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/BulkOperation). Apps can run one bulk query and one bulk mutation operation at a time per shop. The operation type parameter determines whether to retrieve the most recent query or mutation bulk operation. Use this query to check the operation's status, track its progress, and retrieve the result URL when it completes. ## Arguments * type [Bulk​Operation​Type](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/BulkOperationType) Default:QUERY The current bulk operation's type. *** ## Possible returns * Bulk​Operation [Bulk​Operation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/BulkOperation) An asynchronous operation that exports large datasets or imports data in bulk. Create bulk operations using [bulkOperationRunQuery](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/bulkOperationRunQuery) to export data or [bulkOperationRunMutation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/bulkOperationRunMutation) to import data. After creation, check the [`status`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/BulkOperation#field-BulkOperation.fields.status) field to track progress. When completed, the [`url`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/BulkOperation#field-BulkOperation.fields.url) field contains a link to download results in [JSONL](http://jsonlines.org/) format. The [`objectCount`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/BulkOperation#field-BulkOperation.fields.objectCount) field shows the running total of processed objects, while [`rootObjectCount`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/BulkOperation#field-BulkOperation.fields.rootObjectCount) tracks only root-level objects in nested queries. If an operation fails but retrieves partial data, then the [`partialDataUrl`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/BulkOperation#field-BulkOperation.fields.partialDataUrl) field provides access to incomplete results. *** **Note:** \url\ and \\partial\Data\Url\\ values expire after seven days. *** Learn more about [exporting](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/usage/bulk-operations/queries) and [importing](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/usage/bulk-operations/imports) data in bulk. * completed​At [Date​Time](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/DateTime) When the bulk operation was successfully completed. * created​At [Date​Time!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/DateTime) non-null When the bulk operation was created. * error​Code [Bulk​Operation​Error​Code](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/BulkOperationErrorCode) Error code for failed operations. * file​Size [Unsigned​Int64](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/UnsignedInt64) File size in bytes of the file in the `url` field. * id [ID!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/ID) non-null A globally-unique ID. * object​Count [Unsigned​Int64!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/UnsignedInt64) non-null A running count of all the objects processed. For example, when fetching all the products and their variants, this field counts both products and variants. This field can be used to track operation progress. * partial​Data​Url [URL](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/URL) The URL that points to the partial or incomplete response data (in [JSONL](http://jsonlines.org/) format) that was returned by a failed operation. The URL expires 7 days after the operation fails. Returns `null` when there's no data available. * query [String!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/String) non-null GraphQL query document specified in `bulkOperationRunQuery`. * root​Object​Count [Unsigned​Int64!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/UnsignedInt64) non-null A running count of all the objects that are processed at the root of the query. For example, when fetching all the products and their variants, this field only counts products. This field can be used to track operation progress. * status [Bulk​Operation​Status!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/BulkOperationStatus) non-null Status of the bulk operation. * type [Bulk​Operation​Type!](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/BulkOperationType) non-null The bulk operation's type. * url [URL](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/scalars/URL) The URL that points to the response data in [JSONL](http://jsonlines.org/) format. The URL expires 7 days after the operation completes. *** ## Examples * ### Get the currentBulkOperation for a query #### Description The following query retrieves the currentBulkOperation for a query. #### Query ```graphql query { currentBulkOperation(type: QUERY) { id type status } } ``` #### cURL ```bash curl -X POST \ https://your-development-store.myshopify.com/admin/api/2026-04/graphql.json \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'X-Shopify-Access-Token: {access_token}' \ -d '{ "query": "query { currentBulkOperation(type: QUERY) { id type status } }" }' ``` #### React Router ```javascript import { authenticate } from "../shopify.server"; export const loader = async ({request}) => { const { admin } = await authenticate.admin(request); const response = await admin.graphql( `#graphql query { currentBulkOperation(type: QUERY) { id type status } }`, ); const json = await response.json(); return json.data; } ``` #### Ruby ```ruby session = ShopifyAPI::Auth::Session.new( shop: "your-development-store.myshopify.com", access_token: access_token ) client = ShopifyAPI::Clients::Graphql::Admin.new( session: session ) query = <<~QUERY query { currentBulkOperation(type: QUERY) { id type status } } QUERY response = client.query(query: query) ``` #### Node.js ```javascript const client = new shopify.clients.Graphql({session}); const data = await client.query({ data: `query { currentBulkOperation(type: QUERY) { id type status } }`, }); ``` #### Shopify CLI ```bash shopify app execute \ --query \ 'query { currentBulkOperation(type: QUERY) { id type status } }' ``` #### Direct API Access ```javascript const response = await fetch('shopify:admin/api/2026-04/graphql.json', { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify({ query: ` query { currentBulkOperation(type: QUERY) { id type status } } `, }), }); const { data } = await response.json(); console.log(data); ``` #### Response ```json { "currentBulkOperation": { "id": "gid://shopify/BulkOperation/726270413", "type": "QUERY", "status": "CREATED" } } ```
