# Project relations export API **(FREE ALL)**
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/70330) in GitLab 14.4 behind
the `bulk_import` [feature flag](../administration/feature_flags.md), disabled by default.
> - New application setting `bulk_import_enabled` introduced in GitLab 15.8. `bulk_import` feature
flag removed.

top-level
relation (for example, milestones, issues, and labels).

be used with the
[project import and export API](project_import_export.md).
