For a large e-commerce project we need to import more than 20 000 documents like CMS pages (not products) and probably maintain them in the future. Does Prismic has a feature to import this data possibly through an API or any other simpler way to the import? Currently, manually importing and maintaining so many documents by using Prismic UI with 200 documents batch is counterproductive.

Hi Roman,

Prismic does not offer any kind of document write API at the moment. The only option right now is the import/export feature, but as you've stated above it's limited to 200 documents at a time.

This is being tracked as a feature request here:

> [@Write API - Save data to Prismic from your appc](https://community.prismic.io/t/write-api-save-data-to-prismic-from-your-app/283):
>
> For a lot of projects that require a CMS to manage content, Prismic has been fantastic but every time we have to build features like comments, or feedback from users, Prismic becomes useless as we can't write back to Prismic. So, in the end, we end up doing project using Firebase and build out a custom CMS panel which takes a lot of time. If only Prismic could have a write API that would make Prismic a must for a lot of projects.

Thanks.
