Import PSA Submission

As a user, I should be able to import existing PSA submission(s) into both my Submission database and Cards database. Once a valid PSA submission number and ID are provided, Whuppit would make a call to the PSA API and import all available order details. As PSA's submission process already requires users to manually add card details, this integration would eliminate the redundancy in the Whuppit platform.

This is VERY high on my list. Unfortunately I talked to PSA and there is no way to use their API to do this today. :( I've told them how useful it would be and it sounds like it is at least on their radar, but I don't get the sense it's at the top of their list.
I'm toying around to see if there's some other way of at least simplifying that process a little bit. Even if I could figure out a way to get an order's information as a CSV and allow a CSV import on whuppit, that alone would ease some of that pain.

Tim thanks for the reply. I saw your comment on YT about the API not performing well; very disappointing. If I may offer an alternative that could speed up item entry...
Create a db that you could query using elastic search. You could use SQL or GCP to maintain a database of all known sets and players. Then you could use dropdowns or responsive search to help make the data entry faster.

Daniel Simon Sports I like this suggestion. I had tried to find an existing database, but let's just say everyone I found would bankrupt me in a month. :D
I think I can definitely work on putting this together and building it up.

Tim If I'm not mistaken, some of the existing checklist posters (Beckett, Cardpedia) allow you to export .csv which would make an import considerably easier for you. Would be cumbersome first time out, but creating the player and parallel universe could be universal and a seperate set db could be used to query the card specifics (number, name, insert, parallel). Good luck either way! You have the makings of a nice product
