Hi, I have more than 200 sites want to monitor by uptime-kuma, but I found there seems no import function? I tried using backup/restore, while backup is not woking now?
So, how can I import multiple sites using xls or csv? Thanks.

Currently, no import function exists.
Furthermore, the backup feature was dropped in v2.0 due to not being maintainable.

Currently, this is blocked by not having an API (we think we need this to not repeat the maintainability issues of the backup feature).
The current approach to implementing this is in https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/pull/3854

Please consider using SQL or API based¹ adding of monitors instead.

You can subscribe to/read these issues for further context/a notification if/once this gets implemented:

using the third-party API: https://uptime-kuma-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
An example of how to use the third party API would be

from uptime_kuma_api import UptimeKumaApi
api = UptimeKumaApi('INSERT_URL')
api.login('INSERT_USERNAME', 'INSERT_PASSWORD')
api.add_monitor(
    type=MonitorType.HTTP,
    name="Google",
    url="https://google.com"
)
api.disconnect()
