What is the restful way to represent a resource clone operation in the URL?

Question

I have REST API that exposes a complex large resource and I want to be able to clone this resource. Assume that the resource is exposed at /resources/{resoureId}

Answer 1

You want to create a copy of a specific resource. My Approach in that case, would be to use the following endpoint : POST /resources/{id}/copy, read it "create a copy of resource {id}"
