Create Batch Job
Create a batch processing job.
Processes files from a directory or a specific list of item IDs. Supports batch parsing and classification operations.
Provide either directory_id to process all files in a directory,
or item_ids for specific items. The job runs asynchronously —
poll GET /batch/{job_id} for progress.
ParametersExpand Collapse
params: BatchCreateParams { job_config, organization_id, project_id, 5 more }
job_config: BatchParseJobRecordCreate { correlation_id, job_name, parameters, 6 more } | ClassifyJob { id, project_id, rules, 9 more }
Body param: Job configuration — either a parse or classify config
BatchParseJobRecordCreate { correlation_id, job_name, parameters, 6 more }
Batch-specific parse job record for batch processing.
This model contains the metadata and configuration for a batch parse job, but excludes file-specific information. It's used as input to the batch parent workflow and combined with DirectoryFile data to create full ParseJobRecordCreate instances for each file.
Attributes: job_name: Must be PARSE_RAW_FILE partitions: Partitions for job output location parameters: Generic parse configuration (BatchParseJobConfig) session_id: Upstream request ID for tracking correlation_id: Correlation ID for cross-service tracking parent_job_execution_id: Parent job execution ID if nested user_id: User who created the job project_id: Project this job belongs to webhook_url: Optional webhook URL for job completion notifications
correlation_id?: string | null
The correlation ID for this job. Used for tracking the job across services.
parameters?: Parameters | null
Generic parse job configuration for batch processing.
This model contains the parsing configuration that applies to all files in a batch, but excludes file-specific fields like file_name, file_id, etc. Those file-specific fields are populated from DirectoryFile data when creating individual ParseJobRecordCreate instances for each file.
The fields in this model should be generic settings that apply uniformly to all files being processed in the batch.
custom_metadata?: Record<string, unknown> | null

The region for the input S3 bucket.
lang?: string
The language.
output_s3_path_prefix?: string | null
If specified, llamaParse will save the output to the specified path. All output file will use this 'prefix' should be a valid s3:// url
output_s3_region?: string | null

priority?: "low" | "medium" | "high" | "critical" | null

Enum for representing the different available page error handling modes.
resource_info?: Record<string, unknown> | null
The resource info about the file
webhook_configurations?: Array<WebhookConfiguration> | null
Outbound webhook endpoints to notify on job status changes
webhook_events?: Array<"extract.pending" | "extract.success" | "extract.error" | 14 more> | null
Events to subscribe to (e.g. 'parse.success', 'extract.error'). If null, all events are delivered.
webhook_headers?: Record<string, string> | null
Custom HTTP headers sent with each webhook request (e.g. auth tokens)
webhook_output_format?: string | null
Response format sent to the webhook: 'string' (default) or 'json'
webhook_url?: string | null
URL to receive webhook POST notifications
parent_job_execution_id?: string | null
The ID of the parent job execution.
partitions?: Record<string, string>
The partitions for this execution. Used for determining where to save job output.
project_id?: string | null
The ID of the project this job belongs to.
session_id?: string | null
The upstream request ID that created this job. Used for tracking the job across services.
user_id?: string | null
The ID of the user that created this job
webhook_url?: string | null
The URL that needs to be called at the end of the parsing job.
ClassifyJob { id, project_id, rules, 9 more }

id: string
Unique identifier
project_id: string
The ID of the project

The configuration for the parsing job
The language to parse the files in
max_pages?: number | null
The maximum number of pages to parse
target_pages?: Array<number> | null
The pages to target for parsing (0-indexed, so first page is at 0)
