We wanted to help you get started using facial recognition in your own apps & software, so here is a list of 10 best facial recognition APIs ๐Ÿ‘‡

Kairos

Offers a wide variety of image recognition solutions through their API. Their API endpoints include identifying gender, age, emotional depth, facial recognition in both photo and video, and more.

Trueface.ai

One flaw with some facial recognition APIs is that they are unable to differentiate between a face and a picture of a face. TrueFace.ai solves that problem with their ability to do spoof detection through their API.

Amazon Rekognition

This facial recognition API is fully integrated into the Amazon Web Service ecosystem. Using this API will make it easy to build applications that make use of other AWS products.

Face Recognition and Face Detection

With over 1,000 calls per month in the free pricing tier and only $0.0024 per extra API call, this API is a really affordable option for developers wanting to use a facial recognition API.

FaceX

This API was created by the folks over at FaceX.io. FaceX API provides face detection and face recognition web services to your app or website with a few lines of code. The FaceX API can detect faces in uploaded images or URLs. Integrate this API into your app to be able to perform face matching as a password.

Microsoft Face API

One cool feature that I discovered while doing research on the Microsoft Face API, is the APIโ€™s ability to perform โ€œsimilar face search.โ€ When this API endpoint is given a collection of faces and a new face as a query, the API will return a collection of similar faces from the collection.

Google Cloud Vision

By being integrated into the Google Cloud Platform, this API will be a breeze for you to integrate into applications that are already using other Google Cloud Platform products and services.

IBM Watson Visual Recognition

Whether it is faces, objects, colors, or food, this API lets you identify many different types of classifiers. If the included classifiers arenโ€™t enough, then you can train and use your own custom classifiers.

Face++

This API also has an offline SDK for iOS & Android for you to use. The offline SDK does not provide face recognition, but it can perform face detection, comparing, tracking and landmarks, all while the phone does not have cell service

Inferdoโ€™s Face Detection API

Face Detection API that detects the location of human faces in your images. Use our Face Details API to detect faces, gender, age, and other facial features.
