Begin by exporting your data from Webflow. Navigate to your Webflow dashboard, select the project you want to export data from, and go to the CMS (Content Management System) section. From here, export your collection data as a CSV file. This is typically done by finding the "Export" button in the CMS Collections panel. Ensure that all relevant fields and data are included in the export.

Once you have your CSV file, open it in a spreadsheet application like Excel or Google Sheets. Review the data to ensure it is complete and clean. Remove any unnecessary columns or data that you don't want to import into Weaviate. Make sure your data is well-structured and organize it in a way that corresponds to the schema you plan to use in Weaviate.

Before importing data into Weaviate, you need to define your data schema. Access your Weaviate instance and define the classes and properties that match the structure of your Webflow data. This involves creating a schema that reflects the entities and relationships you want to store. Use the Weaviate console or API to set up this schema. Ensure that the data types in your CSV file align with the property types in Weaviate.

Convert your prepared CSV file into JSON format, as Weaviate typically accepts data in JSON for import. This can be done using a script in a programming language like Python or by using spreadsheet functions that allow CSV to JSON conversion. Ensure that the JSON structure matches the schema you defined in Weaviate. Each row from the CSV should become a JSON object with keys corresponding to the schema properties.

To import data, you need to interact with Weaviate via its REST API. Set up API access by obtaining the necessary credentials (such as API keys or tokens) required to authenticate with your Weaviate instance. Ensure you have the correct permissions to insert data into the database. Familiarize yourself with the Weaviate API documentation to understand the endpoints and methods you'll use for data import.

Write a script (using a language like Python) to automate the data import process. Your script should read the JSON data and make HTTP POST requests to the Weaviate API to insert each object into the database. Handle any potential errors in the process, such as network issues or data validation errors, and implement logging to track the import status. Test the script with a small data subset before proceeding with the full dataset to ensure everything works smoothly.

Once the import process is complete, verify that the data has been correctly imported into Weaviate. Use the Weaviate console or API to query the database and check that all data entries are present and correctly formatted. Validate the integrity of the data by checking for any discrepancies or missing entries. If necessary, make adjustments to the import process and re-import any incorrect or incomplete data.

By following these steps, you'll be able to move data from Webflow to Weaviate without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
