This API is hosted on a different server (sg3.akool.com) than the main Face Swap APIs.

​
Important Notes

  • single_face: Set to true to return only the largest face data, or false to return all detected faces. This parameter controls whether the API returns data for multiple faces or just the most prominent one.
  • image_url or img: You can choose to enter either the image URL or the base64 encoded image data
  • The landmarks_str value from the response should be used as the opts parameter in Face Swap APIs

​
Response Fields

  • landmarks: Array of face landmark coordinates
  • landmarks_str: String representation of landmarks (use this for opts parameter)
  • region: Face region bounding box coordinates
  • seconds: API processing time
  • trx_id: Transaction ID for tracking
