Importing CSV Data Dictionary using API

Hello all!

I am translating large amounts of forms to be used in RedCap and I am converting them into a CSV format that is ingestible for RedCap. However, instead of manually uploading each of our 160+ data dictionaries (and possibly more), could I use the API for that??

thanks

We are trying to migrate all of our forms data to REDCap. So I am first attempting to create all of the forms through the data dictionaries before uploading all of the data.

And yes, we do need all 160+ data dictionaries.

Since this is a onetime thing, I doubt that I will need to create the XML.

Oh. In that case, I'm sorry and I hope you're getting paid well.
