Microsoft Face API: Python SDK & Sample

PyPi Version License

This repo contains the Python SDK for the Microsoft Face API, an offering within Microsoft Cognitive Services, formerly known as Project Oxford.

Getting started

Install the module using pip:

pip install cognitive_face

Use it:

import cognitive_face as CF

KEY = 'subscription key'  # Replace with a valid Subscription Key here.
CF.Key.set(KEY)

BASE_URL = 'https://westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/face/v1.0/'  # Replace with your regional Base URL
CF.BaseUrl.set(BASE_URL)

img_url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/Cognitive-Face-Windows/master/Data/detection1.jpg'
result = CF.face.detect(img_url)
print result

Installing from the source code

python setup.py install

Running the unit tests

To run the tests you will need a valid subscription. You can get one here.

  1. Copy cognitive_face/tests/config.sample.py into cognitive_face/tests/config.py.
  2. Change the KEY and BASE_URL parameters to your own subscription's API key and endpoint.
  3. Run the following:
python setup.py test

Running the sample

A sample desktop application is also provided.

Currently it support the following combination of prerequisites:

  1. Python 3 + wxPython 4 [Recommended]
  2. Python 2 + wxPython 4
  3. Python 2 + wxPython 3

P.S. WxPython 3 does not support Python 3 by design.

Then run the following:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/Cognitive-Face-Python.git
cd Cognitive-Face-Python
pip install -r requirements.txt
python sample
