Clone a Skill Locale

You use this API to clone existing locale assets of a custom skill and re-use them for development. After cloning the assets, you use them as a starting point to configure a new locale in the same language.

The endpoint of the API is https://api.amazonalexa.com. Each API request must have an Authorization header whose value is the access token retrieved from Login with Amazon.

Create a new clone locale workflow

Creates a new clone-locale workflow for a skill. In a single workflow, you can clone a locale to multiple target locales. However, you can't run multiple workflows in parallel – only a single workflow can run at the same time. For more details on skill cloning, see Clone a skill locale or the associated CLI command references.
