wordpress_create_page_duplicate
Create a duplicate of an existing page for safe editing.
wordpress_create_page_duplicate
Create a duplicate of an existing page for safe editing. After creating a duplicate, edit the duplicate using wordpress_update_page, then approve in WordPress Admin under Respira → Approvals & Undo.
The response includes a share preview link (preview_url): send it to anyone who should see the duplicate before it goes live. It opens with no WordPress login and lasts 14 days by default. See Share preview links.

}
Response
{
"success": true,
"original_id": 42,
"duplicate_id": 43,
"status": "draft",
"approval_url": "https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=respira-approvals",
"preview_url": "https://yoursite.com/?page_id=43&preview=true&respira_preview=43.1790276757.…",

}
What it changes
It writes to the site. Respira takes a snapshot before the write, and the change can be undone from that snapshot for 90 days. On a page or post the edit lands on a copy first. The live page changes only when a person approves the copy in wp-admin. Calling it twice does the work twice. On a connection set to read-only it is refused with respira_scope_denied.
When it fails
The failures seen most often on real sites in the last 30 days, most common first:
rest_no_route: The WordPress site has no such endpoint. Almost always an old plugin version, or a security plugin blocking the REST API. Update Respira for WordPress on the site and try again.
How long it takes
A typical call takes about 2.2 seconds. 19 in 20 finish within 4.5 seconds. Measured on real sites over the last week, so it includes the site's own hosting.
Availability
Works on any WordPress site, whichever page builder it uses. Available since Respira 1.0.0.
