I asked Cloudinary the above question and they said that they have a new Beta feature called as Cloudinary Duplicate Image Detection (Beta)  
[Cloudinary Duplicate Image Detection Add-on | Cloudinary](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/cloudinary_duplicate_image_detection_addon#:~:text=The%20Cloudinary%20Duplicate%20Image%20Detection,'fingerprints'%20for%20selected%20images).  
If you check the above documentation they expect the loader to enable certain parameters to trigger image duplication detection.

As you can see Thunkable is not listed here. So what do we do? Please advice.

To implement an API, you’ll need to use the API blocks in Thunkable. You can read/view the [documentation](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/advanced-app-features/web-api) and/or what my [tutorial video](https://community.thunkable.com/t/api-json-tutorial-video/1140575) to learn more about accessing API data with Thunkable.
