Verified steps

  1. Send a mutation to the Admin GraphQL API using the `bulkOperationRunQuery` mutation, passing your query (e.g., all products or orders with desired fields) as the `query` argument.
  2. Poll the bulk operation status by querying `currentBulkOperation { id status errorCode }` until the status transitions to `COMPLETED`.
  3. Once completed, retrieve the `url` field from `currentBulkOperation` — this is a temporary signed URL pointing to a JSONL file containing the results.
  4. Download the JSONL file from the URL (it expires after a short window) and parse each line as an independent JSON object.
  5. If the operation has sub-objects (e.g., variants under products), use the `__parentId` field on child records to associate them with their parent.
  6. Handle `FAILED` or `CANCELED` statuses by inspecting `errorCode` and retrying with a corrected query as needed.
