Hello all.  First off, apologies!  I am brand new to Composr.  I also have not been able to simply figure out how to search the forum for previously asked topics -- I hope I'm not wasting peoples' time.

I have almost completed an ETL implementation that will basically gather a bunch of news articles from various sources (the extract), scrub the article text and meta data into a common format (the transform), and I now would like to add these articles, "unvalidated", via an api call to the add_news function in the news package (the load).

The purpose of the ETL implementation is to run on a scheduled basis (using Cron), with the end result being that our Composr administrator simply needs to check the resultant queue of articles not yet validated.  At that point, the administrator will choose to either validate / publish or discard each article in the queue.  Hence, this is by design a background process.

I'm looking for any sort of sample that someone has written to do this sort of thing?

Thanks in advance.

Bob
