# Copy a QR Code
> POST /qr/multi/
Creates up to ten copies of an existing QR Code.
```
POST https://api.scanova.io/qr/multi/
Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a
```
The source QR Code to copy.
Base name for the copies, max 250 characters.
How many copies to create, from `1` to `10`.
Optional custom domain for the copies' short URLs.
The remaining fields — `domain`, `password`, `lead_list`, `form`, `high_accuracy_mode`, `pattern_info`, `tags`, `is_copy`, `is_page`, `has_qr` — are **booleans that mean "copy this aspect from the source?"**, not values:
Copy the source's custom domain.
Copy the source's password protection.
Copy the attached lead list.
Copy the attached form.
Copy the design.
Copy the tags.
```bash cURL theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://api.scanova.io/qr/multi/" \
-H "Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"qrid": "Qa1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8",

```
Returns `201` with the created QR Codes as a list, each in the full detail shape. Every copy consumes QR-count quota exactly as a fresh create would.
This path also answers to `PUT` for an unrelated operation — see [Bulk-update QR Code fields](/api-reference/management-api/qr/bulk-field-update). Same path, different verb, different contract.

used to authenticate against it. Every path and request/response shape below
was verified live against a real API key and the actual running backend

in: header
name: Authorization
description: >-
Send your Management API key as the raw value of the Authorization
header — no "Bearer " or "Token " prefix, and no other characters.
Example: `Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a`. A
header containing more than one space-separated part is rejected
outright. Requests also require the request's Host header to be the
management API host (e.g. api.scanova.io) — the same key sent to the
regular API host will not authenticate.
