Automatic Imports

To run imports automatically, you can use one of three methods:
1. You can create a template, and include the tag:
{exp:datagrab:run_saved_import id="2"}
(this will run the import with the id of 2). The import will run when this template is viewed in the browser.
2. You can directly call the URL:
http://yoursite.com/index.php?ACT=n&id=2
Where n is the action id assigned to DataGrab. This is displayed on the module’s homepage.
3. You can use the ExpressionEngine CLI tool:
php system/ee/eecli.php import:run --import_id=2 --limit=1
To run automatically, you will need to set up a cron to call the command. For more details see: Running imports using cron.
