Steps

  1. Create a query job by POSTing to the Bulk API 2.0 jobs/query endpoint with the SOQL statement and desired content type
  2. Poll the job status endpoint until the state transitions to JobComplete or Failed
  3. Request the first results locator by calling the results endpoint on the completed job
  4. Iterate through result batches by following the Sforce-Locator header returned in each response until no locator is returned
  5. Write each CSV batch to disk or stream it to the destination system, preserving column order from the header row
  6. Delete the completed job to release server-side resources after all batches are downloaded
