Hi Julian,

The Google Base data API allows you to make incremental updates to the items in your account. However, I can't say that these are bulk uploads, since there are differences in format.

If you wanted to take advantage of bulk uploads and the API, you could first bulk upload all of your items and then change single items or batches of items via the API.

When updating items using this method, please be aware of the expiration dates for items. Based on the item type, each items should be updated every 7-30 days: http://base.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=30013

Is it now possible to do incremental bulk uploads?

It wasn't clear to me from reading the help, although GData seemed to support inserts as well as Edits.
