# Consul KV Import
Command: `consul kv import`
The `kv import` command is used to import KV pairs from the JSON representation
generated by the `kv export` command.
## Usage
Usage: `consul kv import [options] [DATA]`
#### API Options
@include 'http_api_options_client.mdx'
@include 'http_api_options_server.mdx'
#### Enterprise Options
@include 'http_api_namespace_options.mdx'
## Examples
To import from a file, prepend the filename with `@`:
```shell-session
$ consul kv import @values.json
# Output
```
To import from stdin, use `-` as the data parameter:
```shell-session
$ cat values.json | consul kv import -
# Output
```
You can also pass the JSON directly, however care must be taken with shell
escaping:
```shell-session
$ consul kv import "$(cat values.json)"
# Output
```
