datasetIds are the default datasets of your earlier runs (replace the placeholders). fields is the key that defines a duplicate; dot paths such as location.lat work, and an empty list compares whole items. The output dataset has each placeId once, keeping the first occurrence (set keep to last for the newest). Duplicates are not charged.
