Creating entries from JSON feed - plugin? I'm wondering if this plugin already exists and I'm just not finding it on Github or via Google. Essentially looking for a CraftCMS version of the ExpressionEngine plugin called "Data Grab" - http://brandnewbox.co.uk/products/details/datagrab

This plugin basically lets you define a feed and run automated imports to create entries. Hoping someone has done this in Craft or has some pointers to a preexisting plugin!

Thanks!
Check out the FeedMe plugin. It's pretty similar to DataGrab and Importer.

From the README:


  Feed Me
  
  Feed Me is a Craft plugin to make it easy to import entries and entry data from XML, RSS, ATOM or JSON feeds. Feeds can be setup as a task in Craft's Control Panel, or called on-demand for use in your twig templates.
  
  A common use-case for this plugin is to consume external feeds (news, events), but can also be used as a once-off task for importing content when migrating from other sites.
  
  
  
  Features
  
  
  Import data from XML, RSS, ATOM or JSON feeds.
  Feeds are saved to allow easy re-processing on-demand, or to be used in a Cron job.

  Duplication handling - control what happens when feeds are processed again.
  Uses Craft's Task service to process feeds in the background.
  Database backups before each feed processing.

Disclosure: I authored this free plugin. Let me know if I can be of assistance!
