Import API

Learn how to use the Import API with the Java or TypeScript SDKs.

Build with AI: The commercetools AI plugin speeds up development, but AI models can make mistakes. This module teaches you the knowledge to critically evaluate solutions and identify generated errors.

AI assistance does not transfer accountability; you remain responsible for all production code. Review, test, and verify AI-generated output to the same standard as manual code.
