Hi Derek, if you check the available Entity Services (part of Resources) you'll find CloneThing and CreateThing.

Please read the Wiki entries because there are some important steps that must be followed.

I have looked at that section. All I see is the following. I do not know how to call CloneThing or CreateThing via REST.

  • EntityServices - helper functions to create and delete ThingWorx Model Entities, such as Things, Users, Groups, and Networks.

Derek,

The format is as follows:


/Thingworx/Resources/EntityServices/Services/CreateThing?method=post&name=ThingName&description=An%20Example%20Thing&thingTemplateName=GenericThing
