Duplicate QR code

Overview

Create a copy of an existing QR code with optional field overrides; the source must belong to the authenticated account-user. The clone defaults its name to "<source name> (Copy)" and copies the source's destination fields/customization where not overridden. It then regenerates its own destination URL and QR image.

Prerequisites

• A bearer token. Callable with Account tokens.
• The qrCodeId of the record you are targeting.

Base URL

Endpoint

POST /api/v1/qr-codes/{qrCodeId}/duplicate

Authentication

• Requires a bearer token in the Authorization: Bearer <bearer-token> header.

• Who can call it: Account tokens.

• Authentication (404 if outside the account company).

• The clone inherits the source's company_id.

• An overriding store_id must sit inside your own account tree.

Rate limit

• No rate limit.
