Overview
The Progeny RESTful API https://be.progeny.tech/api/v2uses the HTTP POST method to create and update resources in our database.
The request body must be encoded as multipart/form-data.
All API methods respond in JSON.
Please be aware that our algorithm requires the submitted picture to simulate real-life scenarios. When testing but also in providing guidance to your end-users, please bear in mind the following points:
Images should be taken with a device under real-life lightning conditions and without filters
Avoid using artificially generated selfies, filtered, or enhanced images
Similarly, avoid using images where the subject is wearing sunglasses, has long or bushy facial hair that sticks out a lot in front of the face, or has a significantly distorted face
Images taken under bad light conditions, with high motion blur, or excessive light will not provide the most accurate results
Furthermore, images included in each API request must conform to the following requirements:
PNG, JPEG, or JPG file format and as uncompressed as possible. Do not go below 70%
Between 480x480 and 4096x4096 pixels. For the best results, we recommend a maximum height of 1080px
No larger than 2MB
Face size should be no lower than 224 pixels
The minimum resolution between the subject's eyes should be no lower than 85 pixels
Orientation:
Face pitch (equivalent to looking up and down) should be between -25 to 25 degrees
Yaw angle (equivalent to looking left and right) should be between -25 to 25 degrees
Face roll angle (equivalent to tilting left and right) from -35 to 35 degrees
