The bulk data part. EDI would likely be more useful when you want updates on 100,000+ records at once, each record with multiple fields.

Never did a bulk_patch but the implementation is nearly the same. If I cat all those patch objects to a file on a shared drive, knowing that at midnight UTC every day, it'll get picked up and applied, that's still an API, albeit a kinda janky transport layer.
