Stocking stuffer ads for 100 products: one bulk run, 16 at a time
One Sume bulk run takes 1-100 items and 1-16 parallel workers. Here is how to set it up for a stocking stuffer catalog and check the failed count at the end.

Sume's bulk-run endpoint takes 1 to 100 items per queue and a concurrency of 1 to 16. For a 100-item stocking stuffer catalog, submit one queue, set concurrency to something your plan can actually run, and poll the queue until it ends. Then read counts.failed, because a completed queue is not the same as a successful one.
Set up the run
Pick a Format from the catalog at the sume handle, supply one item per product, and send a fresh Idempotency-Key for each batch so a retry cannot double-submit.
POST /v1/formats/sume/<slug>/bulk-runs
Idempotency-Key: stuffers-batch-01
# 1-100 items, concurrency 1-16
# then: GET /v1/format-run-queues/{id}Pick a sane concurrency
Concurrency is yours to set, but admission is your plan's: a Pro account runs 4 generation jobs at once and can hold 20 queued, so asking for 16 workers does not make a Pro account faster.
| Plan | Running | Queued | Accepted |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 1 | 5 | 6 |
| Pro | 4 | 20 | 24 |
| Startup | 8 | 40 | 48 |
| Scale | 20 | 100 | 120 |
Poll, do not wait for a webhook
Bulk queues have no queue webhook, so poll GET /v1/format-run-queues/{id} on an interval. Individual jobs can still use webhooks if you need them.
After the queue ends
Read counts.failed. Resubmit only the failed items in a new batch with a new Idempotency-Key, and keep the first batch's key unchanged so the original stays safe to retry.
