Gotchas
- All face APIs return results synchronously.
/face/swapadditionally supports an optionalcallback_urlparameter for async delivery (pass it to receive the result via webhook instead of waiting inline) - Face analyze returns 90+ keypoints per detected face, supporting multiple faces in one image
- Face swap uses
source_image_url(the face to apply) andtarget_image_url(the body to apply it to) - All APIs are currently in Alpha stage — interfaces may evolve
- Images should contain clearly visible, front-facing faces for best results
- Liveness detection helps distinguish live photos from printed/screen photos
