}The Face Comparison endpoint uses biometric analysis to compare two face images and returns a confidence score indicating whether they depict the same individual. Use this for identity verification during onboarding or transaction approval.

Endpoint
POST /api/onboarding/biometrics/face/comparison
Request
Headers
| Header | Value | Required |
|---|---|---|
x-access-token | Your API secret key | Yes |
Content-Type | application/json | Yes |
Body Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
image_one | string | Yes | URL or base64-encoded string of the first face image |
image_two | string | Yes | URL or base64-encoded string of the second face image |
Example
curl -X POST "https://adhere-api.smartcomply.com/api/onboarding/biometrics/face/comparison" \
-H "x-access-token: YOUR_SECRET_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Response
200 OK
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
data.status | boolean | true if the faces match, false if they do not |
data.response_code | string | "00" indicates a successful comparison |
data.message | string | Human-readable match result |
data.confidence | integer | Match confidence percentage (0–100) |
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"status": true,
"response_code": "00",
"message": "Face Match",
"confidence": 100
},
"message": "Face comparison completed successfully"
}
data.status of false indicates the faces do not match. Use data.confidence to apply your own threshold for acceptance (e.g., require >= 80 for a positive match).
400 Bad Request
Returned when one or both image URLs are missing, inaccessible, or do not contain a detectable face.{
"status": "failed",
"data": [],
"message": "Could not process one or both images"
}
401 Unauthorized
