2. Select a dedicated gateway at the top of the navigation pane.

3. In the navigation pane, choose API Management > API Groups.
4. Click a group name to go to the Group Information page.
5. On the APIs tab, choose More > Clone.
6. Set the API name and path based on the following table.

   Table 1 Parameters for API cloning

   Parameter	Description
   API Name	Enter an API name. It is recommended that you enter a name based on naming rules to facilitate search. Enter 3 to 255 characters, starting with a letter or digit. Use only letters, digits, and these special characters: -_./:()
   API Path	Request path of the API. Enclose parameters in braces. For example, /a/{b}. Or use a plus sign (+) to implement prefix matching. For example, /a/{b+}. The path is case-sensitive.

7. Click OK.

   If the cloned API is displayed in the navigation tree on the left, the cloning is successful.
