After merging some duplicate deals I experienced duplicate deals download via API. So I have to prevent this from happening from fixing my side of code. Do you have similar issue from other customers?

Hi @KLai, are you A. only creating new deals or B. Creating new deals + using the unique identifier to update existing deals?

If possible, can you also send a URL to the HubSpot documentation of the code you are using to input information into your HubSpot account via the API or screenshot of the code ( **with API + any other confidential information redacted!!** )

Thank you! I also found a bunch of search results also if you happen to want a quick answer, scroll, and sees one that applies.
