How to duplicate websites in Duda using Duda’s API

Updated

This step-by-step guide shows how to duplicate a Duda site via Duda’s API so the new site clones Termly compliance settings, including Domain Rules and TCF/GACM vendor configurations.

 

Before you start

Duda Credentials: 

  • Have your Duda Partner API credentials ready (username and password for Basic Auth). You can learn more about obtaining and using these credentials in Duda’s official Partner API Introduction documentation.

Site IDs: You’ll need two Duda site IDs (UUIDs):

  • install-site-id: The site where Termly will be installed.
  • duplication-site-id: The source site to clone compliance settings from.

 

Step-by-step: Postman

Step 1: Get the site IDs (UUIDs)

From dashboard URL:

Open site: Go to your Duda Partner Dashboard, open the site.

Copy UUID: From the URL, copy the value at:  https://editor-sandbox.duda.co/home/site/<site_uuid>

Example: 

 

Step 2: Create the request

Method: POST

URL: https://api.duda.co/api/sites/<install-site-id>/apps/620c1644-2a99-4a98-8970-e2def931e48b

Note: 620c1644-2a99-4a98-8970-e2def931e48b is the fixed UUID assigned to the Termly app by Duda.

 

Step 3: Set Up Authentication

  1. Go to the “Authorization” tab (next to Params, Headers, Body).
    Select “Basic Auth” from the dropdown.
    Enter your credentials:
    •     Username → your Duda Partner API username
    •     Password → your Duda Partner API password

    Example:

Note: Postman will automatically encode your username:password into Base64 and add the correct header.

2. Add other required headers in the “Headers” tab:

Content-Type: application/json

Accept: application/json

Example:

 

Step 4: Choose Your Request Body

You have two options, depending on whether you want to duplicate compliance settings:

  • Body with duplication → clones Domain Rules and TCF/GACM vendor settings from the source site.

    The plan_uuid will be provided by Duda, and the frequency parameter must always be set to monthly. Add the duplication_site_id to clone configurations from the source site.

{
  "plan_uuid": "7bdb0e31-dda4-4948-b3bf-18824bc4ae78",
  "frequency": "MONTHLY",
   "configuration_data": "{\"duplicate_from\":\"<duplication-site-id>\"}"
}

Effect: Clones Domain Rules and TCF/GACM vendor configurations from the source site.

Example:

  • Body without duplication (optional) → installs Termly normally, without mirroring settings.
{}

Effect: Standard install; no mirroring.

 

Step 5: Click send 

  • If successful, you’ll get a 200 OK  with confirmation that Termly was installed. If you include the duplication parameter, it will also clone Domain Rules and TCF/GACM vendor configurations from the source site.
  • If you see 400 Bad Request, double‑check your JSON formatting and site UUID. 
  • If you see 403 Forbidden, confirm Termly is provisioned for your account. 
  • If you see 401 Unauthorized, re‑check your username/password and environment.

Note: This feature does not currently copy Automatic Scan Settings.

If you have any problems, please feel free to contact Termly Support.
