Microsoft Face API: Python SDK & Sample
This SDK has been deprecated and been replaced by Microsoft.Azure.CognitiveServices.Vision.Face which is a part of Azure SDK.
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.
- Copy
cognitive_face/tests/config.sample.pyintocognitive_face/tests/config.py. - Change the
KEYandBASE_URLparameters to your own subscription's API key and endpoint. - 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:
- Python 3 + wxPython 4 [Recommended]
- Python 2 + wxPython 4
- Python 2 + wxPython 3
P.S. WxPython 3 does not support Python 3 by design.
Then run the following:

pip install -r requirements.txt
