    Hello,


    I found a documentation that allows for importing forms programmatically through the API with arrays and/or JSON, but I couldn't find one to import through external URL. I know there's a way to do it on the jotform page, but I have 200+ forms to import via URL and I would like to write up a script to do it for me. Is there a way for me to create a form with external URL programmatically through the jotform API?

    You can import it through the API URL https://api.jotform.com/form/{formID}/clone?apiKey={apiKey}. It's on this API endpoint which I believe you were on https://api.jotform.com/docs/#post-form-id-clone. You can't import external URL though, only JotForms using its form ID.

    If you're also looking for a standalone app to clone the forms, I'm afraid we don't have something for you.

    Thanks
