How this service works
De-duplicate a list of records or strings. Exact: group by a `key` field (dot-path) or, by default, the whole item (key-order-insensitive). Fuzzy (`fuzzy`: a field name, or true for scalar strings): group by normalized Levenshtein similarity ≥ `threshold` (default 0.85) — e.g. 'Jean Dupont' ≈ 'jean dupont' but 'Jean Martin' stays separate. Returns unique[] and duplicates[] (kept + dropped indices). Fuzzy ≤ 1000 items.
Output
A JSON object with two arrays: `unique` (the representative items from each group) and `duplicates` (objects containing each duplicate's kept and dropped indices within the original list), allowing the caller to trace exactly which input items were merged.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you deduplicate this list of customer names — ['Jean Dupont', 'jean dupont', 'Jean Martin', 'JEAN DUPONT'] — using fuzzy matching with a similarity threshold of 0.85, comparing the whole string?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://402utils.com/v1/dedupeWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call deduplication with support for both exact key-based matching and fuzzy Levenshtein similarity — especially useful for cleaning messy real-world data like names, addresses, or company records where typos and case differences are common. Prefer this over building your own logic when you need fast, stateless deduplication with index tracking in a single API call.
Side effects
- More than 1000 items submitted in fuzzy mode — endpoint rejects with an error
- Invalid dot-path key field that doesn't exist on input objects — may produce unexpected grouping
- Threshold outside (0,1] range — validation error returned
- Mixing scalar and object items without a consistent key — undefined or error behavior
- Payment not included or insufficient — 402 payment required response
Input
Schema · Request body
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| key | string | Exact mode: dot-path to the field that identifies a duplicate. Omit to dedupe whole items. |
| fuzzy | — | Fuzzy mode: a field name (dot-path) to compare, or true to compare scalar strings whole. |
| items | array | The values to deduplicate (objects or scalars). |
| threshold | number | Fuzzy similarity threshold in (0,1]. Higher = stricter. Default 0.85. |
