Duplicate a site

duplicate_site

Copies an existing site into a workspace as a new, independent site with its own subdomain and URL.

POST /v1/duplicate_siteScopesites:createMakes changes

The copy takes every table and row of the site database with it, on either database engine. You need access to both the workspace of the site and the one it is copied into.

It creates real infrastructure and counts against the site limit of the target workspace, so a workspace with no site slot left refuses it with site-limit-reached and the current count and limit.

A site on the newer database is refused while its database has a full text search table, is larger than 25 MB, is being backed up, or is already being copied, and the refusal names the reason. A refused copy leaves nothing behind, and a busy database can be retried a few minutes later.

On the newer database, copying the rows pauses the original database for a moment, as a database backup does. Copying a database has the messages.

Request

Call it with a POST to https://api.modulify.ai/v1/duplicate_site, sending the inputs below as a JSON object. The token needs the sites:create scope.

It makes changes, so send an Idempotency-Key header whenever you might retry it. A retry with the same key gets the first answer back instead of running again.

curl -X POST https://api.modulify.ai/v1/duplicate_site \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"projectId":"PROJECT_ID","workspaceId":"WORKSPACE_ID"}'

Over MCP, the same method is the duplicate_site tool.

Response

Every call answers with the JSON envelope of success, message, data, code and version. data holds the result described above, and on a method that returns a total, count carries it. The response headers carry the call's X-Request-Id and what is left of your per-minute budget in X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset. Errors explains every status code a call can answer with.
