Salesforce SOQL set batchsize in REST api

Question

Is there a way to set the batch size to 2000 (maximum)? I know it is possible via soap API by adding an option: see here

Is there a way to achieve this via REST API POST request?

Answer 1

You can set the REST batch size using option headers:

Field name

Sforce-Query-Options

Field values

batchSize — A numeric value that specifies the number of records returned for a query request. Child objects count toward the number of records for the batch size. For example, in relationship queries, multiple child objects may be returned per parent row returned. The default is 2,000; the minimum is 200, and the maximum is 2,000. There is no guarantee that the requested batch size will be the actual batch size; this is done to maximize performance.

Example

Sforce-Query-Options: batchSize=1000
