# Methods overview

We offer several methods for importing data, tailored to various situations:

• Manually import data (one by one) in Quable's back office
• Use https or sftp to upload .csv or .xls files:
  • Either on the fly, one .csv file at the time
  • Or through regular, scheduled import jobs
• Use Quable's API to:
  • Import data (single data point or small bulk import)
  • Trigger the import of csv or xls files
  • Do the full import via API

You can always mix and switch methods for specific needs.
