Hi,

I am using below REST API Call and able to see the results - But it is giving me duplicate values.  

In splunk I am able to see only one log whereas in REST API Call I am able to see 3 logs.   Please let me know how to eliminate the duplicate values in REST API Call

https://splunk-api-url:8089/servicesNS/nobody/appname/search/jobs/export?output_mode=json&segmentation=none&latest_time=2020-07-15T00%3A05%3A00.000&earliest_time=2020-07-15T00%3A00%3A00.000&search=|savedsearch%20savedsearchname%20|search%20Code=XXX-10-12

Note: This duplicate value could be seen only for JSON Format, for other formats it is working fine. Let me know how to eliminate duplicate values for JSON Format

No solution.

The respective application team filtered the JSON result at their end.

@richgalloway 
we met the same problem on Splunk Enterprise 7.2.6.
if we added the savedsearch like this

index=my_index
| dedup name
| table name value


and assume the savedsearch result is like this

namevalue
aa1
bb2


but if we use splunk export API, we will get the result like this

{"preview":false,"offset":0,"result": {"name": "a", value:"1"}
{"preview":false,"offset":1,"result": {"name": "b", value:"2"}
{"preview":false,"offset":0,"result": {"name": "a", value:"1"}
{"preview":false,"offset":1,"result": {"name": "b", value:"2"}

Can you reproduce the error using a "standard" saved search (one delivered with Splunk)? I don't have a saved search called "savedsearchname" with a Code field.

@richgalloway 

Do you have a savedsearch named - License Usage Data Cube?

I have reproduced the error with this savedsearch.

In splunk - I ran this search for 1 minute and filtered one component where in splunk I am getting 1 log, when I try connecting the API with the same savedsearch for same timing and same filters applied, I am able to see 4 logs in JSON Mode.
