There are a few methods for importing data into Memgraph and they cover:

How to import CSV files into Memgraph?​

To import data from CSV files into Memgraph, use the LOAD CSV clause, which is used as a standard Cypher clause, and can be invoked straight from a running Memgraph instance.

How to import JSON files into Memgraph?​

You can import the JSON file into Memgraph by using the JSON query module, which has procedures for loading JSON file from a local file from a remote address.

You can also connect to streams and import data from CYPHERL files to an instance running in Memgraph Cloud.
