I really don’t mean to sound rude here. I’m an Intuiface fanboy with many years of experience.
But I’m finally going to make a suggestion that has been killing me for a long time.
CAN WE PLEASE FIND A CLEAN WAY TO COPY CONTENT CONTAINING API DATA DIRECTLY BETWEEN XP’S?
Currently, I’m well aware that you should not simply copy/paste or duplicate an API Explorer IA, or copy something that contains a reference to an API because this causes issues. You must use the shareable link feature and start fresh.
However, this is a huge gaping hole that causes massive headaches all the time. I work almost religiously with API Explorer. Sometimes I REALLY REALLY REALLY need to copy something from one program into another. Often times the program I’m building is significantly complex and would be a huge waste of time to rebuild over and over again.
This is my biggest ask of the year. Please, help us find a clean way to copy and paste API Explorer content without breaking the program. To clarify, if I have a group that has some collections in it that feed from a couple API’s, I really need to copy that group and paste it directly into another XP. That way all my assets, triggers, AND the API’s come with it.
Before you suggest work-arounds, let me address them:
- The shareable link feature in an API only works if you want to start fresh with a new API call. It does not help when the API is part of a larger system that’s tied together as mentioned above.
- Save-As a new XP is a MESS if you need to build something in a different resolution, with significantly different content.
I shudder every time I need to use something I’ve built in a different XP because it almost always causes errors, crashes, blank data, etc.
Please help me vote this up!
- YES this would save me a ton of time too!
- No, don’t need it

, can you share an XP with us (xp-for-support) and point to a specific content (group with collections) that you’d like to copy from 1 XP to another along with the IA used by that content?
