Chrome Extension — Copy & Clone
Is the Squarewebsites Chrome extension safe? Uses undocumented API?
The Squarewebsites Chrome extension uses an undocumented Squarespace API, so you use it at your own risk. It is generally safe when you back up your site before copying, but because it relies on a private API that Squarespace could change, you should treat each copy as use-at-your-own-risk and always export a backup first.
The undocumented API caveat
Squarewebsites states plainly that the extension uses an undocumented Squarespace API, so you use it at your own risk (Squarewebsites). Because Squarespace does not officially expose a content-copy API, the extension works against private endpoints that could change without notice.
How to use it safely
- Back up your destination site before copying any content.
- Test on a staging or duplicate page first when copying a large collection.
- Keep your source content intact until you’ve verified the copy landed correctly.
The extension works on all Squarespace templates across 7.0 and 7.1, though some features are template-dependent (Squarewebsites).
Platform scope
The extension is Squarespace-only — it cannot copy to or from WordPress or other platforms (Squarewebsites). If a license expires, previously copied content and styling remain in place on your sites; only new copy, import, and export actions stop until renewal (Squarewebsites).
