I'm sure this has been asked before, but I have my collection in a spreadsheet, but I don't want to reenter them into CPG (there are thousands of comics), so I was hoping there was a process to get those loaded in My Collection. Or maybe some kind of API? I am a 30+ year web developer, so I could write a program to do it if you had some kind of API interface...\

Hi. Yes, this has been asked about for years. short answer is no, there's no process for bulk uploads or downloads. longer answer from 2019:

The short answer is no you cannot upload an Excel spreadsheet. There are things with Excel that don't work well with our system.
Things you can do to speed things up:
1. When you go to a title like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles/yitu
You can quickly add with the the green button on the side.
2. If you have a lot of a certain issue you can add a run. Go to the same title and look further right in the toolbox. At the lower part of that box is add a run. When you click on that you can add hundreds of issues at a time.
I hope that helps a little. Plus now you will know the value of your collection.

another answer was that anyone's spreadsheet would have to match CPG's database program so all the issue info gets put in the right place, and they're not gonna give anyone access to that code as it's a security risk. so you'll just have to do it the slow way, as Ron described, sorry.
