Create a RunWay collection from a text block of lines?

I have an existing site where the content has grown larger than expected in a region of a page (its actually in a block on a page). Its now time to convert it to a collection and then we can do a lot more with the data and make it easier to maintain. However the data isn't a multiple item field. Its just a text field of data with 2 fields per line - 'website title' and '(optional) website link'. Example ...

"Website One":https://www.example1.com/ 
"Website Two":https://www.example2.com/ 
"Website Three":https://www.example3.com/ 
+ 100 more!!

What's the best or easiest way to get this into a RunWay collection? Thanks, Graham

The simplest way would be to use the new import API: https://docs.grabaperch.com/api/import/

Thanks for the reminder of that blog entry, and the documentation page. I'll give it a try tomorrow and see if I can crack this.
