/authenticate_face

Authorize an additional image against a user already registered in our database

Endpoint

https://be.progeny.tech/api/v3/services/authenticate_face/

Purpose

Allows you to connect to the Liveness and Face Compare services, using the providers configured in the Progeny Console, to authenticate an image of a person's face against the UUID of an already registered image in our database, performing both a liveness and likeness check.

Connecting to both services means we can determine whether the image is of a live human being and additionally that the image represents a likeness of the person already registered.

Please refer to the section on images for guidance before posting. For the best results, we recommend a maximum height of 1080px.
