Import and synchronize data

Import data

You can import data in Sitefinity CMS using one of the following:

OData REST services
For more information about using OData REST services for content management and authentication, see Content API and the Postman sample OData queries.
C# REST SDK
For more information, see RestSDK and Migrate data to CMS on Sitefinity GitHub.

To sync data from external systems, you can use the SystemSourceKey property that every content type has. It is a string property that can hold up to 255 chars of ASCII-encoded data. You can store an identifier from an external system in it and use it to update the data in Sitefinity CMS, each time you do a sync with the external system. This field has a backing index, so data can be filtered and sorted with maximum performance.
