The Face Verification API allows you to verify the identity of a person by comparing a provided image with the reference image of a known person. It returns a verification result indicating whether the provided image matches the reference image of the known person.

Verifik has a guide on what Search services are and how to use them; we invite you to read it: Search Guide.

Compare 1:1 Vs Face verify

If you have read all the guides in this documentation, you may have noticed that these services perform very similar processes, so what sets them apart?:

The differentiating factor between these services is how the comparison process is performed:

• Face Verify: Performs the comparison between an image and a person already created within a collection.
• Compare 1:1: Performs the comparison between two images. Unlike Face Verify, there is no restriction on where these images come from, making this service more versatile in how it performs the 1:1 comparison.
• Compare 1:1 Live: Same operation as the Compare 1:1 service, with the added value of conducting a Liveness check on one of the supplied images.

Implementation

Request

import axios from 'axios';

const options = {
  method: 'POST',
  url: '<https://api.verifik.co/v2/face-recognition/verify>',
  params: {
  },
  headers: {
    Accept: 'application/json',
    Authorization: 'jwt <tu_token>'
  },
  data: {
    id: 'ID_OF_PERSON_BEING_VERIFIED',
    images: ['base64_encoded_string'],
    min_score: 0.7,
    search_mode: 'FAST/ACCURATE choose one'
  }
};

try {
 notFou const { data } = await axios.request(options);
  console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
}
