Basic Examples  (1)

Make a copy of a databin:

Wolfram Language code: CopyDatabin[Databin["3Gu4aW5D"]]

Scope  (1)

Here is a databin with no write access:

Wolfram Language code: bin = Databin["3Gu4aW5D"]
Wolfram Language code: bin[Permissions]

Making a copy creates a new databin with write access:

Wolfram Language code: newbin = CopyDatabin[bin]
Wolfram Language code: newbin[Permissions]

This adds data to the new databin:

Wolfram Language code: Normal[DatabinAdd[newbin, 11]]

Properties & Relations  (1)

Data semantics are inherited from the original databin:

Wolfram Language code: copy = CopyDatabin[Databin["3GuXS3Sq"]]
Wolfram Language code: copy["Interpretation"]

By default, the copy is given public permissions:

Wolfram Language code: copy[Permissions]

Permissions can be explicitly given:

Wolfram Language code: CopyDatabin[Databin["3GuXS3Sq"], Permissions -> "Private"][Permissions]
