Hi @shreya.

We pulled IDs/NAMES via the api, however it returned three business classifications all with different IDs, but two had the same NAME.

How can I find out what the difference is between the two with the same name?

us:

{

“id”: “9ed46bb5-7d6f-11e3-9631-5404a6144203”,

**“name”: “Real estate agent”**

},

{

“id”: “9ed492ab-7d6f-11e3-9907-5404a6144203”,

“name”: “Real estate - other”

},

{

“id”: “9ed3f664-7d6f-11e3-9eaa-5404a6144203”,

**“name”: “Real estate agent”**

},
