# Strale Deduplicate API

> Strale Deduplicate API is a paid API for AI agents from api.strale.io, paid per call via x402, $0.0216/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Deduplicates records in a dataset by matching on specified fields, returning a deduplicated result with an audit trail

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability strale-deduplicate-api-590ef744
```

Example prompt: Can you deduplicate this list of customer records matching on the 'email' and 'company_name' fields? Here's the data: [{"email":"jane@acme.com","company_name":"Acme","id":1},{"email":"jane@acme.com","company_name":"Acme","id":2}]

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need deduplicated data with a verifiable audit trail — particularly for compliance-sensitive workflows where cryptographic proof of the deduplication operation is required. Prefer this over simple client-side deduplication when you need an immutable record of the operation, or when deduplicating across 27-country regulated data environments.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid JSON in data field returns parse error
- match_fields references a field not present in the data causing no matches
- Empty dataset returns empty result with no deduplication performed
- Malformed match_fields string causes field parsing failure
- Very large datasets may exceed payload limits

## How this service works

Deduplicate a JSON array of objects using fuzzy string matching (Levenshtein + token sort). Specify match fields and threshold.

## Output

Returns the deduplicated dataset with duplicate records removed or flagged, along with an audit record containing a cryptographic chain hash for traceability and compliance verification.
