New Bulk Data Operations: Update, Delete, and Fetch by Metadata
SummaryAI, from the source post

This post introduces three new bulk data operations: Update by Metadata, Delete by Metadata, and Fetch by Metadata. These operations allow users to target subsets of data using the same filter syntax as queries, enabling efficient bulk updates, data purges (e.g., for GDPR compliance), and selective fetches. The delete operation is generally available, update is in public preview, and fetch is in early access with plans for pagination. Code examples for Python SDK (delete) and curl (update, fetch) are provided.
