Moving an endpoint across groups

Kiran Marshall

I recently renamed an endpoint as I was doing work on a clone of an existing endpoint, but I needed to change the whole of the url - so instead of changing /user/{insert_url} I changed it to /different_endpoint_group/{insert_url}. The problem is it no longer belongs to any API group as far as Xano is concerned, and as such it doesn't appear in any windows in the Xano UI - so I am worried about losing the ability to continue working on it if I lose the window it's open in. As far as swagger is concerned it belongs to the user group, where it originated but Xano doesn't see it there.

Has anyone run into this issue and do you have a way of solving it? There's a fair bit of logic on that endpoint and I'd hate to lose all of it.

Hey Kiran - are you sure it's not bucketed under the new name you gave it? Also, are you able to find it by going to the database table and selecting Related API Endpoints?

Oh, ok. I've found it in the public group. Panic averted, and apologies. But still I would like to migrate it to the right endpoint group with all the logic contained. Is there any way to do this?

Michael Udinski

The best way to move an endpoint to a different group right now is to convert it to a function and then create a new API endpoint in the other group and insert the newly created Custom Function.
