**post** `/api/v2/batches`

Create a batch over a source directory and start processing asynchronously.

### Parameters

- `BatchCreateParams params`

  - `Optional<String> organizationId`

  - `Optional<String> projectId`

  - `Config config`

    Batch configuration snapshot to apply to this source directory.

    - `Job job`

      Job to create for each file in the source directory.

      - `String configurationId`

        Product configuration ID or built-in preset ID matching the job type.

      - `Type type`

        Product job type to run for each source directory file.

        - `PARSE_V2("parse_v2")`

        - `EXTRACT_V2("extract_v2")`

  - `String sourceDirectoryId`

    Directory whose files should be processed.

### Returns

- `class BatchCreateResponse:`

  A top-level batch.

  Example:
  {
  "id": "bat-aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee",
  "project_id": "prj-aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee",
  "source_directory_id": "dir-aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee",
  "config": {
  "job": {
  "type": "parse_v2",
  "configuration_id": "cfg-PARSE_AGENTIC"
  }
  },
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "results": [
  {
  "source_directory_file_id": "dfl-aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee",
  "job_reference": {
  "type": "parse_v2",
  "id": "pjb-aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee"
  },
  "error_message": null
  }
  ]
  }

  Batch-level `FAILED` means the orchestration failed and cannot provide a
  reliable per-file result set. `results` is only populated when explicitly
  requested with `expand=results` and may be `null` while a batch is still
  running.

        Product configuration ID or built-in preset ID matching the job type.

      - `Type type`

        Product job type to run for each source directory file.

        - `PARSE_V2("parse_v2")`

        - `EXTRACT_V2("extract_v2")`

  - `String projectId`

    Project this batch belongs to.

  - `String sourceDirectoryId`

    Directory being processed.

  - `Status status`

    Current batch status.

    - `PENDING("PENDING")`

    - `THROTTLED("THROTTLED")`

    - `RUNNING("RUNNING")`

    - `COMPLETED("COMPLETED")`

    - `FAILED("FAILED")`

    - `CANCELLED("CANCELLED")`

  - `Optional<LocalDateTime> createdAt`

    Creation datetime

  - `Optional<List<Result>> results`

    Expanded per-file result mappings. Null unless requested with expand=results, or while the batch is still running.

    - `String sourceDirectoryFileId`

      Source directory file processed by this batch.

    - `Optional<String> errorMessage`

      Batch-level mapping error if the system could not create or associate a job for this source file.

    - `Optional<JobReference> jobReference`

      Reference to a job produced by a batch.

      Example:
      {
      "type": "parse_v2",
      "id": "pjb-aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee"
      }

      - `String id`

        Job ID, such as a parse job ID.

      - `Type type`

        Type of job produced for the file.

        - `PARSE_V2("parse_v2")`

        - `EXTRACT_V2("extract_v2")`
