​
Endpoint

[POST] https://analytex.userpilot.io/v1/companies/bulk_identify

​
Headers

HeaderValueRequired
Content-Typemultipart/form-dataYes
Acceptapplication/json, text/plain, */*Yes
AuthorizationToken {YOUR_API_KEY}Yes

​
Request Body

Submit the file using multipart/form-data. Include a key called file with your NDJSON file: 
curl -X POST "https://analytex.userpilot.io/v1/companies/bulk_identify" \
     -H "Authorization: Token {YOUR_API_KEY}" \
     -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
     -F "file=@/path/to/your/file.ndjson"
Each line in the file should be a valid JSON object.
File size is limited to 50 MB. Each request can contain up to 10,000 companies.

​
Limitations

  • File size up to 50 MB (for file uploads).
  • JSON/NDJSON list up to 10,000 companies per request.
  • Up to 1,800 companies per minute.
  • Only primitive types (string, number, boolean, null) are supported in metadata.
  • A company will not appear on the dashboard unless at least one user is associated with it.

​
Best Practices

  • Validate Your Data: Ensure each record includes the required company_id and that metadata is formatted correctly.
  • Monitor Jobs: Always use the job monitoring endpoints to check the status of your bulk updates.
  • Rate Limits and Retries: If you experience rate limits or timeouts, batch your requests and monitor job statuses before submitting more.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Authentication Errors: Verify your API token and that it is sent in the Authorization header.
  • Invalid Payload: Ensure your JSON/NDJSON is well-formed and required fields are present.
  • Job Failures: Use the job status endpoint to inspect error messages for failed records or processing issues.
