SkyBiometry API

Machine Learning / API Key Intermediate HTTPS
Varies by plan (check documentation)

Overview

SkyBiometry is a cloud API that detects faces in photos and can recognize or group them across multiple images. You upload an image URL or file and the API returns the location and attributes of every face it finds. It is great for building photo tagging, attendance, or identity verification features.

💡

Beginner Tip

Use well-lit, front-facing photos with at least 80×80 pixels per face for best detection results. Train named tags with at least 10 varied photos each before calling the recognition endpoint.

Available Data

SkyBiometry data via REST API
JSON-formatted response data
Requires API key authentication

Field Reference

photos Array of processed photos, one entry per input URL.
photos[].tags Detected faces in the photo, each with position and attributes.
photos[].tags[].center Percentage-based x/y position of the face center within the image.

Implementation Example

// ⚠️ Note: This URL may be a documentation page. Check official docs for actual API endpoint.
const url = "https://skybiometry.com/documentation/";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Invalid API credentials api_key or api_secret parameter is wrong or missing.
Copy both api_key and api_secret from your SkyBiometry account dashboard and include them in every request.
No faces detected Image resolution is too low or faces are too small or angled.
Use high-resolution images with front-facing faces at least 80×80 px.
Namespace not found The tag namespace used for recognition does not exist yet.
Create and train tags first using the faces/train endpoint before calling recognize.
