How to use Markdown with Migration API?

[aadtyaraj01 (aadtyaraj01 Raj)]

I've content in markdown format that I want to upload to Prismic using the Migration API.

This is like really essential to do, so please reply asap.

Hey @be1,

Since the Migration API is relatively new, the ecosystem is still growing. You can see some example scripts here:

GitHub - prismicio-community/migration-api-example-scripts

But I don't think that includes a Markdown converter. I know that this is something the team is actively considering and it will probably come in the future.
