Can I import questions and answers from an external source

[Shyamala. Dhakshinamurthy]

I need to import approximately 5000 questions and 14000 answers from an external application.  I can load it into a SQL Server DB if needed.  Along with the questions and answers I need to bring in the Topics/Tags and also the data about who is watching the questions.  The users are already users of Confluence.  Is there a THIRD PARTY TOOL/PLUGIN which will allow me to import the data.  If not will the REST API allow me to import

1) Questions

2) Answers

3) Topics/Tags

4) Details of watching a question

@Shyamala. Dhakshinamurthy, before you start realizing your plan, you should first think about how to organize 5000 questions. One page per question? Questions sorted alphabetically and then grouped together? Answers as page comments?

There is the Universal Wiki Importer, but you do not import from a wiki.

There is a importer plugins, but it focuses on document/html.

There are SQL connectors, but they don't arrange your data in new pages.

Best you give the REST API a try and some custom made logic to convert your data to useful pages.
