Biometric recognition for ID validation - Colombia
Lets integrate Biometric recognition for ID validation - Colombia in your system. First, get your Apitude API key, then send a POST request to Apitude... And that's it!.
Alternatively, the service also receives the following payload
In this case, instead of URLs, you could also send the images in the payload encoded as base64 strings
That POST request should return the following
{
"message": "Request processed successfully",
"url": "/api/v1.0/requests/face-id-co/e0606c19-a32d-410f-b2eb-d57a665677bc/",
"request_id": "e0606c19-a32d-410f-b2eb-d57a665677bc"
}
This response will contains a unique request ID that you should poll using a GET as follows
How does the response looks like?

Ok, but what does each field in that JSON means?
The general parts:
message:The message is an Apitude generatedstringwith an informational text about the request.result:The result is contains the main part of the request.result.error:The error is astringgenerated by apitude for the request if everything worked it will be blank.result.message:The message is astringwith two optionssuccessfulorunsuccessfuldepending of how your request finished.result.queried_by:The queried_by field is astringthat lets you know what user started the request.result.end_at:The end_at field is astring formatted datethat lets you know at what time the request ended in Apitude.result.service_name:The service_name field is astringthat echos the service called. For this service it will always beface-id-co.result.status:The status field is aintegerthat represents whether the service returned data from the input sent in the request. It could be one of the following values:200: The service returned response data for the payload that was sent in the creation of the request.404: The service did not returned data for the payload that was sent in the creation of the request.400: The service did not started because your input was invalid.500: Apitude tried to execute your request, however the service Apitude uses to execute your request was down. Please wait some time and try again, Apitude will not charged you for requests with this code.
Depending on the service, you want it to return different codes. For example, if you are checking the user against a security list to whitelist the user you should look for a
404, because a200would mean the user is in fact in the list. Other cases however, like creating objects in the name of a user you want the code to be200, since it will imply the creation was a success.

About this service
The service allows you to validate a person through API. Receives an emotion as input, a selfie photo of the user performing the selected emotion (Possible values are surprise, sadness, neutrality, anger and happiness), a photo of the front of the Colombian ID (image side and name) and a back photo of the Colombian ID (barcode side) and obtain the following validations:
- The image with the selfie contains the face of only one person.
- The face of the person in the selfie corresponds to the sentiment sent.
- The face of the person in the selfie and the face on the ID are from the same person.
- The identity card is active in the National Registry of Civil Status of Colombia
Technical detail of the validations carried out:
- For comparison of the selfie against the image of the document, a process of identification of facial characteristics is carried out, of which our state-of-the-art artificial intelligence algorithms identify +300 reference points on the face of the selfie and on the photo of the document, and make a comparison between the two.
- Our artificial intelligence algorithms extract forensic characteristics from the selfie image and the document image (e.g. sex, age, race, etc.) and compare them against the database of the National Registry of Colombia and other private sources to which Apitude has access.
- The authenticity of the barcodes in PDF417 and MRZ format of the ID is verified against the information printed in the text within the images of the document and against the database of the National Registry of Colombia.
- Our proprietary state-of-the-art artificial intelligence algorithms analyze documents for tampering left by digital image manipulation software such as Photoshop and the like .
- Our artificial intelligence algorithms perform detection (Optional at client's request) of images not taken directly from a source camera.
- Validations are performed (Optional at client's request) of the selfies/images sent against a series of biometric databases of international government intelligence entities (Interpol, FBI, CIA, etc.).
The service returns in its response:
- If the selfie image is valid or not
- If the selfie image and the front face of the ID are of the same person
- If the person in the selfie is making the emotion sent
- If the ID is active and valid in the National Registry of Civil Status of Colombia or not
- The information Information on the front side of the ID
- Information on the back of the ID
- Information on the ID at the registry office
