Find Duplicates via API

[displayname0504 11]

I was hoping to see a way to find duplicates in the API. It would be helpful as it's not an obvious thing to check for otherwise.

Hi, yes this is there. In the 4.9 release the web app has the new duplicates filter, so you could mimic what that's sending.

I tried this, but it just listed my first 50 movies, not limited by duplicate.

Ah - it has to be tied to a user search, not just scouring the library.  It would be great if it could be an option for the Items API endpoint

I believe it should work in a user-less context.

Worked perfectly fine.

Returned all movies, the IsDuplicate did not have an impact.

OK we’ll take a look at it. Thanks.
