Face Detector API

Face Detector API analyzes images to detect human faces and returns bounding box coordinates for each detected face.

The Face Detector API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate face detector functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready face detector capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.

Quick Start

Using JavaScript

async function callFaceDetectorAPI() {
    try {
        const requestBody = {
    "url": "https://example.com/group-photo.jpg",
    "confidence": 0.5
};

        const response = await fetch('https://api.apiverve.com/v1/facedetect', {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE',
                'Content-Type': 'application/json'
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(requestBody)
        });

        const data = await response.json();
        console.log(data);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error:', error);
    }
}

callFaceDetectorAPI();
