The JSON importer can be used to bulk import data in JSON format.
A step by step tutorial on how to generate JSON Payloads can be found here.
The importer can be found under "Tools > JSON Importer".
The configuration for the JSON importer can be uploaded in a manifest file (.json
). The manifest contains payloads and other information which will preset the importer.
Please note that the server where the manifest.json
and the payloads are stored, needs to be accesible from the frontend
Fields

Handling problems with Mixed Content
Since the frontend loads the JSON files as a client, it is possible that the browser you are using will block the request to the other server.
Mixed Content Blocking is implemented in many browsers and is a security feature:
Google Chrome: "No More Mixed Messages About HTTPS"
Mozilla Firefox: "Mixed content blocking in Firefox"
Microsoft Edge: "Learn how Microsoft Edge handles mixed content downloads"
this might also be implemented in other browsers in some way
If the manifest and the payload files can not be loaded, check the developer tab of your browser and look for an error message that looks like any of these (there my be variations):
or
If this is the case, your browser blocks the request. Depending on the browser, there are ways to work around this, and allow loading the files anyways.
CORS Plugin
Caution: Mixed Content Blocking is a security feature. Only disable it if you trust the other server. This might be a security risk!
For different browsers, there are plugins available which allow to disable Mixed Content Blocking, for example:
Google Chrome: "Allow CORS: Access-Control-Allow-Origin"
Mozilla Firefox: "CORS Everywhere"
With many of the available plugins it is possible to toggle Mixed Content Blocking. Please check the availability of plugins for your browser.
