# Create a site by downloading a single page from a known artifact URL.

`POST /api/v1/sites/import`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://harvis.dev`
- URL: `https://harvis.dev/api/v1/sites/import`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in cookie `better-auth.session_token`

The shortcut past copy-and-paste for a page an AI chat built: send the artifact's public address and the fetched HTML becomes the site's index.html. Only hosts that serve an artifact as a plain document can be fetched — see lib/artifact-sources.ts for the list — and a chat's own share link is refused with the reason, because it renders the conversation rather than the page inside it. One file, 5 MB; use sites.create for anything with assets.

## Request body
