I looked at the documentation in ExpressionEngine about saving/updating a channel entry row.

Unfortunately, the documentation doesn't show anything about adding a new Grid row.

Is it possible to do this? If so, how?

I hope this still helps,

I add new rows to a grid field by this code:

$data['field_id_X']['rows']['new_row_Y']['col_id_Z'] = 'value';

Just match X to your grid's field ID, increment new_row_Y as needed and match up your col_id_Z numbers.

I'm not really sure if it's possible to do this in a native way with the Channel Entries API, if someone knows a way please post.

However, I believe you can do grid field updates in your add-ons by using the EE Database Class and inserting/updating the corresponding grid table directly with a mysql query.

If you examine your database tables, you will see that grid fields create their own tables, named exp_channel_grid_field_## (where ## is your field number).

You'll also see that each exp_channel_grid_field_## entry is associated by entry_id to the corresponding channel_title entry_id, and each column_id_# is for the corresponding column you've set within the grid.

    Yeah, this solution is what I will use if I could not find any API that will work. Jun 6, 2014 at 3:51
