  Is IP the best way to prevent entry duplication?

  
  
  

  You have access to the {user} object in a custom endpoint, is that not sufficient?

  
  
  

  Or is it like a public endpoint?

  I want it because I want to avoid request spamming

  
  
  

  it's a public endpoint

  There is rate limiting implemented by default by IP

  
  
  

  500 requests / 15min per IP

  
  
  

  You can adjust those settings on the payload main config

  Let me know if that doesn't solve your issue

  Are you running behind a proxy?

  in production on cloudflare

  
  
  

  one solution is the cloudflare header, not tested tet

  So if its your own proxy, you can usually use

  'x-forwarded-for'
  
  

  but im not sure the accuracy of that if its through cloudflare

  
  
  

  You would need to adjust your nginx config if its not your own proxy as well

  proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
