Does WP Import has an API where I can upload my CSV against an importer and automate that via Python code. I use Python with application password authetication against user to upload images to my media library.

Can I upload my csv files against importers using API?

If yes, any documentation available?

thank you,

 

Fede.

Hi Fede,

There is no api to run the importer, however the best thing i can think of is having your python code upload its csv files into a folder on the wordpress web server, where the importer can then be scheduled to run every 5 minutes and import files from that folder?

Hello,

That is an interesting option, I noticed the Run Import --> Schedule - Run Import at later date.

Will explore that option, thanks, Fede.

Hi Fedrico,

The run in background mode works by using the wordpress cron or custom importwp cron (https://www.importwp.com/docs/how-to-schedule-an-importer/#configuring-the-cron-task-scheduler) and requires that you have this being triggered frequently e.g. every minute, as the more frequent it is ran the quicker background imports will work.
