I have data coming in through an API. When I run the API, the data from that day is populated, overwriting the previous days data. However, I am looking to build a database from this daily API data. Instead of the API overwriting the previous days data, I would like to copy-paste that to a main database or simply add the new data instead of overwriting it.
