GFAPI::get_entries with only unique value from input

Is there a way to filter using GFAPI::get_entries with only unique values in a input on the form?

How do you mean exactly? Can you provide an example or description of what you’re trying to accomplish?

I have a name input on my form and I am trying get only the entries with unique names instead of showing duplicates…

edit: so this is what I have so far
$search_criteria['field_filters'][] = array( 'key' => '3', 'value' => 'Name' );

thank you.
