This has not been coded as yet. Can you take a look at how it is done in contact and do something similar for the other imports. You should be able to reuse most of the code from contact

thanx

Hi xavier,

nice work with api importer tool, it's much faster than the web form
anyway you need to take time to adjust the csv to the right format.

i have a question about it:

Is it possible to import multiples contact's addresses and phones in the same process (same cvs file) with the contacts?

Let's say I have contact's with 2 addresses  (home & work) and 2 phones, can i write the csv somehow to import in one go all of them, or first I need to import the entity Contact, get the contact_id and then import entities Address and Phone?

I tried to create  cvs with the street components fields, (street_address, city, country, etc..) but they are not imported into the contact details.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, good to know.

I'm having troubles when importing special spanish characters (á,é,ó,ñ, etc..)
for example if the name is "Quaíni", the api will import "Qua".

stops where the "special character is", should i encode the csv file in a particular way?
The same CSV file works fine when I use it to in the web form importer, but not from the api console

any ideas?
