Hi, I want to migrate a blog from DatoCMS, and I was wondering how I could migrate an image of the blog to builder (so I can host them here and not call an external URL). Is there a way to do this? thanks

Hi @emiliano,

We shared the steps to migrate content over from DatoCMS on your other forum post [here](https://forum.builder.io/t/migration-from-another-cms/1895/2)! We also have a [forum post](https://forum.builder.io/t/how-to-use-images-from-data-models-in-next-js/1838) on how to use images from data models in next.js that may be helpful depending on what you’re looking to achieve.

Thanks, but what I meant is:  
I have to migrate many blogposts from DatoCMS to Builder.  
I’ll use the write API to migrate all of them as a data model called blogpost.  
Many of them have images… so is there a way with the write API to post the images in Builder (so I can host them there), without depending of an external url (in this case from datocms).

thanks

@emiliano Thanks for clarifying. At this time, we don’t have a public API for this and images will need to be uploaded manually but you’re welcome to share this feature request on [https://ideas.builder.io/](https://ideas.builder.io/)!
