Identities API Introduction

🪪 Identities API

Identities REST API

Program against the eConnect Identities platform directly. Authenticate with a username and password to receive a JWT, then call the public REST endpoints to publish faces from edge detectors, recognize and look up identities, and manage people, tags, and detections. This guide focuses on the Face Edge endpoints — including publishWithResponse — with runnable examples you can use to validate your integration.

What This API Does​

The Identities REST API is the programmatic entry point to an eConnect Identities server. Edge face detectors and partner systems use it to push detected faces into the facial-recognition engine and to resolve those faces back to enrolled people.

🔐
Authenticate
Exchange a username and password for a JWT bearer token, then renew it before it expires.
📡
Publish (with response)
Send a detected face to the FR engine and synchronously get back the matched faces, scores, and bounding boxes.
🔎
Recognize & Look Up
Match a cropped/aligned face — or precomputed embeddings — against enrolled identities.
🗂️
Manage Data
Read and edit people, aliases, tags, notes, custom fields, and query face detections.
