Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Use your API key as a bearer token.

Headers

​
x-request-id
string<uuid>

Optional UUID used for request tracing.

Body

​
img1
string
required

Base64 image payload or data URL. The managed API rejects images that exceed the active byte, request-size, or decoded pixel safety limits before forwarding work to the model runtime.

​
img2
string
required

Base64 image payload or data URL. The managed API rejects images that exceed the active byte, request-size, or decoded pixel safety limits before forwarding work to the model runtime.

​
model_name
string

Approved model name from the current allowlist. For /verify and /represent, omitted, blank, or overlong values are treated as absent and the gateway injects the active default model.

Maximum string length: 200
Example:

"Facenet"

​
detector_backend
string

Optional detector backend from the current allowlist. When the active detector misses a face, the service may retry configured fallback detectors before returning no_face_detected.

Example:

"opencv"

​
enforce_detection
boolean
default:true
​
align
boolean
default:true
​
normalization
string

Optional DeepFace normalization mode.

​
distance_metric
enum<string>
Available options:
cosine,
euclidean,
euclidean_l2
Example:

"cosine"
