Efficient Drupal 10 Migration: Integrating API Data with Drupal 7 Content
Creating a seamless migration from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 can be challenging, especially when integrating data from external sources like API endpoints. In a recent blog post, Greg Carlson from Aten Design Group shared his approach to this process. Using Drupal’s core Migrate module, they successfully migrated content from a Drupal 7 database and updated it with content from an API. By developing custom migration files, defining database connections, and creating administrator-friendly tools, the team managed to streamline the migration while ensuring data consistency. The blog outlines the use of Migrate Tools, custom controllers, and routes to offer a robust migration strategy.
