How This Helps

Identify duplicate media in your dataset using internal media IDs. This helps streamline cleanup, reduce redundancy, and improve data quality before training or export.

​
Step 1: Retrieve Internal Media ID

To begin, retrieve the internal media ID for a file based on its original_media_uri. 
GET /api/v1/dataset/{dataset_id}/search_media_metadata/id?original_media_uri={url_encoded_original_media_uri}
Headers: Authorization: Bearer <jwt>

​
Example

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <jwt>" \
     "https://app.visual-layer.com/api/v1/dataset/{dataset_id}/media/id?original_media_uri={url_encoded_original_media_uri}"
Response:
  • ✅ 200 OK: Returns the internal media ID as text
  • ❌ 404: Media not found in the dataset

​
Step 2: Retrieve Duplicates Using Media ID

Once you have the media ID, use this endpoint to find duplicates: 
GET /api/v1/dataset/{dataset_id}/media/{media_id}/duplicates
Headers: Authorization: Bearer <jwt>

​
Example

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <jwt>" \
     https://app.visual-layer.com/api/v1/dataset/{dataset_id}/media/{media_id}/duplicates
Response: Returns a JSON array containing 0 or more duplicate media IDs.
