Hi @adpaikers To import data you will need to use the api with or without the SDK, what kind of data do you need to import and where are they from ?

Hello @adpaikers ! 

Welcome to the community!

I would recommend reading this API overview documentation

You will see there that we use REST conventions and employ JSON for the responses

You have the option of using either oAuth or an API key which can be accessed in your portal settings.  Please note that the API key is the key to the castle  so please protect it!

From what you have stated above, you will probably want to focus on the CRM APIs. 

It is also possible that you do not need to go the API route.  I would suggest checking out this article as well

Good luck out there!
