# Duplicate a Story

PUT

```html
https://mapi.storyblok.com/v1/spaces/:space_id/stories/:story_id/duplicate
```

This endpoint can be used to duplicate a story into another folder.

> [!TIP]
> A common use case of this endpoint is to create an alternate version of a story for internationalization or localization purposes. It is recommended to install the [Dimensions](https://www.storyblok.com/apps/locales) app to auto-create links between stories in different languages.

    ID of the story
    

## Request body properties

-   `story` (The Story Object)
    
    Any attributes sent here will be copied to the duplicated story. To link duplicated stories as alternates, specify a `group_id` in the [`story` object.](https://www.storyblok.com/docs/api/management/stories/the-story-object)
    
-   `target_dimension` (number)
    
    The `id` of the target folder.
