Hello everyone, I dowloaded data from the API about various loans and I have a doubt.
I add a photo showing four loans, the ID is different, so are the loans different or are they the same loan?
Because ID is the only variable that is different, all other variables are equal.

Hi Alex
These are very similar loans to four different people.  It's not particularly uncommon for people in a local area to get loans of the same amount for the same purpose, and the folks who work for Kiva field partners and interact with borrowers often do all their Kiva updates at once, so, similar loans get grouped and may have some copy/pasted details.  

You can see each borrower by looking at these URLs
