Manual uploading of data

Support
1

Dear all,

I am testing ODK-Central (getODK) for our organisation. My questions is about the manual upload options of our existing data into ODK-Central. We have a large database of existing planting sites that have been registered years ago (outside the ODK app). We would like to monitor those sites with the ODK app. To do this we would need to upload those sites in ODK-central first. Is this possible and if so, how? E.g. through an API? Thanks!

Edmond

You can import a CSV with your data into an Entity List. Learn how at https://docs.getodk.org/central-entities/#importing-csvs-into-entity-lists.

If you are comfortable in Python, you can also pyODK with the Central API to programmatically create an Entity List and load in data (e.g., submissions) from a CSV. See this Create entities from submissions example.
