We use draw.io/diagrams.net files as our source of truth for diagrams, and we generate Miro board content through an automated script pipeline.

Today the only way to bring a .drawio file into a board is through the Draw.io Diagrams app's own UI (File > Import From) — there's no way to trigger this from the REST API or SDK.

I found the "Import draw.io diagrams" idea marked Delivered, but that one covers the UI-level import through the app, not programmatic access, so it's a different ask.

Could this be added to the REST API? Our use case is pushing diagrams into a board as native, editable objects (not a flattened image) as part of an automated workshop-prep pipeline.
