Moving Macros?

I have some macros I have created for a game. Is there a way to move them to another game instead of having to copy/paste everything?

I have a script that makes this very easy, but it requires the API in both games. (Pro Subscriber Perk)
ah Ok thanks I am still on free

As a note,by macro,do you mean a macro in the collections tab or an ability on a character sheet?

A common practice is to make all of your macros as ability macros on a character sheet. It's a little more code to then call them from yet other macros, but the upshot is that all you need do is use the character vault to pull the character into a new game, and all your macros come along with it. This has the added benefit of allowing you to update the macros on a single sheet in a single game and then vault them over to overwrite the copies in other games.

Note: that does require access to the Character Vault, a Plus Subscriber Perk.
Thank you all for the information. 
The Aaron said: Note: that does require access to the Character Vault, a Plus Subscriber Perk. Isn't it also included for those who buy one of the D&D modules like LMoP, regardless of subscription?

According to the  Supporter Page , non-subscribers have Limited Character Vault access for all games they create, which should do the trick.

Free accounts can put things into the vault, but only get them out into games that have the vault enabled: Pro or Plus created games, games created from some official modules.

Thanks for the clarification. The page statement is a little ambiguous about exactly what "for games you create" actually means. It's probably explained better in the documentation pages.

Yeah, probably the documentation should be improved by some enterprising moderator... I just verified this with a test account.  On the free tier, you can allow others to import characters via the vault, but can't yourself import them unless you're a subscriber at Plus or Pro level.
