Cfimp - a spreadsheet data import tool for Contentful

Ecosystem Tools & Libraries

Hey guys,

Forgive the plug for a tool I just made, cfimp, which is a simple but fairly powerful CLI tool for importing spreadsheet-derived data (CSV, TSV etc) into Contentful spaces. It can also be used to update existing entries, link entries to (extant) tags, assets or references, and even publish entries.

It exists because the native Contentful import CLI tool is sparsely documented and requires you to first munge your data to JSON (a JSON structure that the docs don’t explain; you have to first do an export to infer the structure). So this is much easier.

If anyone wants to use it feel free, and reports of issues/suggestions very welcome.

Amazing tool, I’m currently using it.

In order to keep scaling operations, I would like to do the process the other way around (exporting from CF to TSV). Any suggestion?

Dude keep going, REALLY amazing script you made.

Thanks for your kind words and I’m glad you’re finding cfimp helpful. As for reversing the process, i.e. JSON to TSV, I’m afraid I don’t have any suggestions for that, nor is it on cfimp’s roadmap, since cfimp is concerned solely with importing into Contentful, and that means going from TSV to JSON.

Thanks again.
