Create card from template using API

[Viktor Potesil]

I use following query in python to create a Trello card with checklist from template.

It works fine, but the problem is that an extra card get created duplicating the template.

So I have desired card named "Daily Tasks 2024-08-04" as well as extra card named " Daily tasks - template" both cards have checklist.

What am I doing wrong? I hoped the the 'keepFromSource': 'checklists', will help to resolve the problem, but it still does not work as desired.

import requests 
import datetime 

# Trello API credentials 
API_KEY = 'zzzz' 
API_TOKEN = 'xxxx' 
BOARD_ID = '5acf8b8faffb00d3bedf0b00' 
LIST_ID = '5acf8d5ad1499e477fadc006' 
TEMPLATE_CARD_ID = '669bf1242ea083cf40ab6c90' 
# Trello API endpoint to create a card 
url = "https://api.trello.com/1/cards" 

# Card details 
card_name = f"Daily Tasks {datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d')}" 
card_desc = "This is an automated task created every morning." 

query = { 
   'key': API_KEY, 
   'token': API_TOKEN, 
   'idList': LIST_ID, 
   'idCardSource': TEMPLATE_CARD_ID, 
   'keepFromSource': 'checklists', 
   'name': card_name, 
   'desc': card_desc 
} 

response = requests.request("POST", url, params=query) 

if response.status_code == 200: 
   print("Card created successfully.")
