Can I copy the projects api directory into another strapi project?

Hi,
To be honest and to save frustration i just went ahead and recreated the api in a fresh strap project. I tried the dump comand but it didn’t yield the desired effect.
It took me 1/2 hour to recreate the api. So it was ok for me. But its a rather uncomplicated one…
Sorry I don’t have better news.
Best, dino
