1 Introduction

Purpose of the Fortface API​

The Fortface API is a robust service that interacts with facial recognition and matching systems. It allows users to carry out operations such as face registration, identification and searching for matches.

Target audience​

The API is aimed at companies wishing to incorporate facial recognition technology into their own products and services.

Brief description of the API's functionalities​

With the Fortface API, you can:

  • Register a face in the system.
  • Check whether a face is a match, as in the 1:1 case.
  • Check the “liveness” of a face - determine whether the face image is of a real person or a representation.

How to start using the Fortface API​

To start using the API, you will need to create an account, generate API keys and configure your development environment.

Performance and Robustness of the Fortface API​

The Fortface API has undergone rigorous load tests, including:

  • Smoke Tests: Initial checks to ensure that the test script and system are operational.
  • Average-load Tests: Average load simulations to understand the API's behavior under normal conditions.
  • Stress Tests: Evaluations under extreme conditions to determine performance limits.
  • Soak Tests: Long-term tests to identify possible performance degradations over time.
  • Spike Tests: Tests that simulate sudden spikes in traffic to assess API resilience.
  • Breakpoint Tests: Progressive tests to identify the API's breaking point and understand its limits.
