I notice in the editor there is a make unique option on some of the resources. how would I go about getting that functionality through code?

Resource has a method duplicate(). It returns the copy of the resource.

To expand upon @GlaDOSik's answer, I'm pretty sure this is exactly what you'd put in the code, res being the path to the resource:

res = res.duplicate()

In the resource parameters enable "Local To Scene"
