# clone\_project

`imerit_ango.sdk.SDK.`

## clone\_project(project\_id, category\_schema, assigned\_to, batches, workflow, plugin\_presets, project\_general\_settings)

Creates a new project in the same organization by copying selected settings from an existing project.

The cloned project is named `<SOURCE PROJECT NAME> copy`. Assets, task records, and saved annotations are not copied. The project's category schema can be copied with the `category_schema` option.

{% hint style="info" %}
The API key must belong to a project manager for the source project.
{% endhint %}

### Parameters

* **project\_id:** string
  * The unique identifier for the project to clone. You can find the project ID in [the user interface](/sdk/sdk-documentation.md#project-ids) or retrieve it using the [`list_projects`](/sdk/sdk-documentation/project-level-sdk-functions/list_projects.md) function.
* **category\_schema:** bool, *Optional, default True*
  * Copies the project's tools, classifications, and relations.
* **assigned\_to:** bool, *Optional, default True*
  * Copies the project's assigned users.
* **batches:** bool, *Optional, default True*
  * Copies the project's batches.
* **workflow:** bool, *Optional, default True*
  * Copies the project's workflow.
* **plugin\_presets:** bool, *Optional, default True*
  * Copies the project's plugin presets.
* **project\_general\_settings:** bool, *Optional, default True*
  * Copies the project's general settings.

The optional settings are keyword-only parameters. Set a parameter to `False` to exclude that section from the cloned project.

Returns:

* **output:** dict
  * A dictionary containing the result of the operation.
  * Includes a `status` field indicating whether the request was successful and a `data` field containing the cloned project.

<summary><strong>How to verify in Ango Hub?</strong></summary>

After successfully executing the `clone_project` function, navigate to **Projects** and confirm that the cloned project appears in the project list.

Open the cloned project and verify that the settings you selected were copied.

{% hint style="info" %}
Changes made via the SDK are reflected in Ango Hub in near real-time. If the cloned project is not immediately visible, please refresh the page.

### Example

Clone all supported project settings:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="python" %}

```python
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from imerit_ango.sdk import SDK

load_dotenv('variables.env')
api_key = os.getenv('API_KEY')
project_id = os.getenv('PROJECT_ID')

ango_sdk = SDK(api_key)

response = ango_sdk.clone_project(project_id=project_id)
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="curl" %}

```bash
curl -X POST "https://imeritapi.ango.ai/v2/project/$PROJECT_ID/clone" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "apikey: $ANGO_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "assignedTo": true,
    "batches": true,
    "categorySchema": true,
    "pluginPresets": true,
    "projectGeneralSettings": true,
    "workflow": true
  }'
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Clone a project with only its category schema and workflow:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="python" %}

```python
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from imerit_ango.sdk import SDK

load_dotenv('variables.env')
api_key = os.getenv('API_KEY')
project_id = os.getenv('PROJECT_ID')

ango_sdk = SDK(api_key)

response = ango_sdk.clone_project(
    project_id=project_id,
    category_schema=True,
    assigned_to=False,
    batches=False,
    workflow=True,
    plugin_presets=False,
    project_general_settings=False
)
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="curl" %}

```bash
curl -X POST "https://imeritapi.ango.ai/v2/project/$PROJECT_ID/clone" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "apikey: $ANGO_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "assignedTo": false,
    "batches": false,
    "categorySchema": true,
    "pluginPresets": false,
    "projectGeneralSettings": false,
    "workflow": true
  }'
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.imerit.net/sdk/sdk-documentation/project-level-sdk-functions/clone_project.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
