# Duplicate Asset

`POST /asset/{asset_id}/duplicate`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.tellers.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.tellers.ai/asset/{asset_id}/duplicate`
- Auth: none declared

Duplicate an asset into the caller's library.

Any asset needs only VIEW, so one shared read-only can be copied. A project
is copied without its media: the copy's timeline uses the same assets. Any
other file (media, stock footage, entity, config) is copied in full, stored
files and analysis included, as ``name (1).ext`` next to the original when
the caller can write to its folder, at the library root otherwise or with
``to_library_root``. A folder is copied the same way with everything in it;
the group clips, master clips and still-uploading files inside are left out
and counted in ``skipped_count``. Group clips, master clips, assets still
uploading and folders of more than 500 items return 400. A copy whose files would not fit
the caller's storage returns 413. A missing or inaccessible asset returns
404.

## Path parameters

- `asset_id` string, uuid, required

## Query parameters

- `to_library_root` boolean: Put the copy at the top of the caller's own library even when they can write to the original's folder ("copy to my account").

## Headers

- `x-api-key` string, nullable
- `authorization` string, nullable

## Response `201`

Successful Response

- DuplicateAssetResponse: New asset id after a successful duplicate.
  - `id` string, required
  - `skipped_count` integer: Items of a duplicated folder left out of the copy: group and master clips, and files still uploading. Always 0 for a file.

## Other responses

- `422`: Validation Error
