  • Application programming interface for processing duplication requests and duplicating digital objects from multiple digital-object levels
    Patent number: 10645159
    Abstract: This disclosure covers methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that provide an application programming interface (“API”) for facilitating requests and duplication of multiple associated digital objects maintained within multiple levels of a digital content account. In some implementations, the API facilitates duplication of multiple digital objects based on a single API request that identifies (or includes duplication parameters for) associated digital objects from different levels within a digital content account.
