SightRadar
Face recognition API that is a drop-in replacement for AWS Rekognition: index, search, compare and detect faces, billed per photo with no subscription.
Overview
Face recognition API that is a drop-in replacement for AWS Rekognition: index, search, compare and detect faces, billed per photo with no subscription.
- Drop-in AWS Rekognition replacement — Same request and response shapes (CreateCollection, IndexFaces, SearchFacesByImage, CompareFaces, DetectFaces). Point the AWS SDK at SightRadar's endpoint and existing code keeps working.
- Face search from a single selfie — Find one person across thousands of photos in your own collections, for event photos, media libraries and photo delivery.
- 1:1 face verification — Compare two faces with a similarity threshold you choose, for selfie-based KYC and onboarding.
- Face detection with confidence scores — Detect faces and threshold on the confidence score. Photos with no faces return valid empty results, not errors.
- Per-photo billing, never per face — Batch indexing from $0.00062 per photo and real-time from $0.00093 per photo. Pay-as-you-go prepaid credits, no subscription or minimums.
- Privacy by design — GDPR-ready with a Data Processing Agreement. Face vectors are isolated and encrypted per account and never used for model training.
- SDKs for JavaScript and Python — Published on npm and PyPI (sightradar), plus a Rekognition shim for Python.
Who it's for
- Event and wedding photographers delivering each guest's photos from one selfie. Apps adding selfie-based identity verification (KYC, onboarding). Media libraries and DAMs tagging and searching people across their own archives. Teams on AWS Rekognition cutting their face-API bill without rewriting code.
