Can I bulk create filters?

[Cole]

I have about 400 different filters i need to make. Currently the queries are all in an excel document and I am manually coping and pasting them in individually. Is there a better way to do this? Maybe upload a csv file or something?

You can use the REST api with your language of choice to create them:

So I have never used the REST api before... I looked at the documentation, but I still do not really understand where I would put my code to have it go in. Am I just making my own script to post the filters? There's no way to just insert them in the browser?
