# Admin Articles Dedupe By Slug

`POST /v1/admin/articles/dedupe-by-slug`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.storyflo.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.storyflo.com/v1/admin/articles/dedupe-by-slug`
- Auth: none declared

D-12/13 · find + merge duplicate Article rows that share a
(publisher_id, slug). Keeps the oldest row (most accumulated FKs),
rewrites every dependent FK on the 10 child tables to point at the
keeper, then deletes the duplicates. Idempotent: a re-run after a
clean pass reports zero groups.

Once this runs to zero, the matching alembic migration that adds a
UNIQUE constraint on (publisher_id, slug) can apply without error.
