Create a collection from existing info

Do I have to wait for the new Collection Importer API in Perch Runway 3 to do this ... ?

I have several text blocks with this sort of data in it ...

"Website Title One":https://www.websiteone.co.uk/ 
"Website Title Two":https://www.websitetwo.co.uk/ ... etc

I'd really like them in a collection so we can do other things with them. I don't really want to cut/paste a couple of hundred website titles and URLs into a template to do this. Anyone got a way of doing this, or do I need to wait for the API I recently read about?

Thanks, Graham

That's the sort of thing the Import API has been designed to solve.

That's great, thanks. I'll work on the code around test data. By the time I need to do that import, that API and Runway 3 will probably be available. The site's only just gone live and this is needed in the next phase which is a month or so out.

You have the beta, so you can try it out now if needed.

Sadly not (the beta) as I dropped myself from the 'registered developers' (I was getting too much business!! - LOL). I still show up on the forum as a RD though. Regards, Graham

Ah right. You might need to log out and back in to reset the flag.

Yep - done that now. I'll be promoting the new site (my first in Runway) in the next day or so.
