Generating unique slugs via the API and the need for external slugifier and API requests.

Last updated: Jul 17, 2023

Hi everyone - another question that I hope you can help with 🙂Is it possible to generate a unique slug (making sure it’s unique) via the API using some out-of-the-box functionality, a library or plugin?
Or would I need to build/find an external slugifier, make an API request to check that it’s unique, and then a request to insert/update the document?

You’d need to go with the latter option 🙂
