Hi newbie here!
I'm looking at making baby steps from a custom CMS that generates JSON data files that are committed to GitHub which are then consumed by Eleventy when the site is rebuilt by Netlify.

I'd appreciate some pointers on how I can read in my data as JSON from Sanity.

Sanity comes with a hosted data store that the Studio syncs to in real-time. So you need to import your JSON data into it to be able to interact with it through the APIs. Here’s a guide that should be helpful:
