Channel Entry API and Grid field

Question

I'm looking for a way to handle a grid field with the channel entry API.

Documentation has nothing, and could barely find anything else online about except for this: Inserting a new Grid row using the API, but there is no solution through the API.

Has anyone figured this one out yet?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure you can just pass in the fieldname the row and column like

$data['field_id_X'][rows][new_row_1][col_id_1] = 'row 1';
$data['field_id_X'][rows][new_row_2][col_id_1] = 'row 2';

Just increment new_row_x as needed and match up your col_id_x numbers

Answer 2

Very close to @johnathan-waters answer I imported new grid rows using this code

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