How do I Rewrite & Republish via API or programmatically?

    I am trying to send a POST request via API to create a new draft so I can later merge it with an existing page. I am basically trying to replicate the “Rewrite & Republish” feature. I am wanting to use the endpoint like this:

    /wp-json/wp/v2/pages?status=draft&title=My Test Page

    Do I need to pass a different value for the “status” or do I need to somehow send a reference of the existing page?

    If this is not doable via API, is there a way to do this programmatically? I just need some pointers.

    I would also like information about this. Or to request this as a feature if it’s not available.

    Edit: Looked into the Yoast API and it should be possible to implement this using the duplicate_post_create_duplicate function. So not using the WP API, but with a custom implementation.

    Update to mention that I was wrong. You can create duplicates with the Yoast API, but I don’t think you can create republish copies that way

    Can someone from Yoast respond to this and let us know how to do this?

    Hello!
    Currently there is no REST API available to duplicate posts.
    As @mmtom says, duplicate_post_create_duplicate is the function to use to create regular copies.
    To create Rewrite & Republish copies of a $post object you should use the Post_Duplicator class:

    use Yoast\WP\Duplicate_Post\Post_Duplicator;
...
$post_duplicator = new Post_Duplicator();
$return = $post_duplicator->create_duplicate_for_rewrite_and_republish( $post );


    I hope this helps!

    @lopo Sorry for the late reply. That worked perfectly as expected. Thanks!
