# Bulk API

If you have a large number of places you want to match, you can send batches using the `/v1/placekeys` endpoint.

> 🚧 Batch size can be no more than 100 at once. All queries in a batch must have the same `iso_country_code`.

You can specify a custom `query_id` with each query that echoes back in the response. The `options` parameter is specified at the top level of the request body and applies to all queries in the batch.
