Batch Processing

Run a Roboflow Workflow over a very large set of images or videos on Roboflow's autoscaling compute. Every job processes a temporary Data Staging batch; the two input paths differ only in who fills that batch:

• Asset Library job — the files are already in Roboflow. You hand the platform a selection and it selects and stages them for you.
• Staged job — the files are outside Roboflow (local disk, cloud bucket, references file), so you stage them yourself with the inference-cli: only your machine and credentials can reach them. Nothing is imported into the workspace, and staged data expires after ~7 days.
