Importing database data into Joomla
Question: How to import data from a database to Joomla CMS?

I have a database with lots of data I want to use in my new website. An ideal
solution for me would be a Python/Perl/PHP API that would know how to do
Joomla' basic routines:

  1. adding/removing a section/category/material/menu/module;
  2. changing properties of existing entities


Answer: You could try the following extensions:

  1. [Bulk Import](http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migration-&-conversion/data-import-&-export/7243/details)
  2. [CSV Import](http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/migration-&-conversion/extensions-migration/4247/details)

If that doesn't work for you, maybe take a look at the [Joomla
API](http://api.joomla.org/)
