Face Recognition API Release Notes

Version History

Version 1.2

Release Date: 2026-06-08

Features

  • Reset collection: new DELETE /v1/collection/reset endpoint removes all indexed faces (and their external key associations) from a collection while preserving the collection itself.

Changes

  • Collection id validation: collection/create now restricts collectionId to letters, numbers, dashes (-), underscores (_) and dots (.). Other characters are rejected with 400.

Version 1.1

Release Date: 2026-06-01

Features

  • External keys: associate your own identifier with a face and look faces up by it via the new external-key endpoints (set, get-face-ids, delete).
  • Search responses include the external key: search and search-or-index now return the matched face's externalKey.
  • Delete by external key: the face/delete endpoint now accepts an externalKey in addition to faceId (one of the two is required).
