Hi HN,

We are the core developers behind FACEIO (https://faceio.net), a product developed from scratch here at PixLab (https://pixlab.io) in the past few years.

FACEIO is a cross-browser, Cloud & On-Premise deployable, facial authentication framework, with a client-side JavaScript library (fio.js) that integrates seamlessly with any website or web application desiring to offer secure facial recognition experience to their users.

Put it simply, FACEIO is the easiest way to add passwordless authentication to web based applications. Simply implement fio.js on your website, and you will be able to instantly authenticate your existing users, and enroll new ones via Face Recognition using their computer Webcam or smartphone frontal camera on their favorite browser.

FACEIO works with regular Webcams or smartphones frontal camera on all modern browsers, does not require biometric sensors to be available on the client side, and works seemingly with all websites and web applications regardless of the underlying front-end JavaScript framework or server-side language or technology.

Implementing FACEIO is straightforward. Before so, you need to create a new application first on the FACEIO Console (https://console.faceio.net), and link this resource to your website or web application. The checklist below highlights the steps to follow for a smooth integration of fio.js on your site:

1. Create a new FACEIO application first: Follow the Application Wizard on the FACEIO Console to create your first application and link it to your website or web application.

2. Select a Facial Recognition Engine: Review Security & Privacy settings, Cloud or On-Premise deployment and customize the Widget look & feel, all done via the Application Wizard (https://console.faceio.net).

3. Add the fio.js library to your Website: Implement fio.js (https://faceio.net/getting-started), our facial recognition library on your website before rolling facial authentication to your audience...

4. Enroll & Authenticate your first used via the enroll() & authenticate() methods respectively, the only two exported methods from the fio.js library.

The details:

Each enrolled user on your website represented by its feature vector (biometrics hashes, mapped by the selected facial recognition engine), alongside with his Unique Facial ID (https://faceio.net/facialid), as well as, any metadata you have already linked to a particular user, is stored in a sand-boxed binary index called Application in the FACEIO jargon. Think of FACEIO Application as an isolated container of your users' data. Only your application with its encryption key can gain access to this index (features vectors & metadata). You can retrieve your encryption key via the Application Manager on the FACEIO Console.

You can create a new application via the FACEIO Console in a matter of minutes. This is easily done thanks to the Application Wizard. The wizard should automate the creation process for you. Usually, this involve inputting an application name, selecting a facial Recognition engine, reviewing security options, customizing the Widget layout, and so forth.

We have baked privacy and security directly into our infrastructure. We collect and store the minimum amount of personal information needed to authenticate users, and we back that up with intelligence-backed security monitoring. The underlying Facial Recognition Engines that FACEIO rely on such as PixLab Insight or AWS Rekognition only stores hash signatures of your facial features, a stream of meaningless floating point numbers anonymously, after your full explicit consent, and/or until you submits a removal request.

FACEIO itself (the service) including this Website, the fio.js facial authentication library, the Embedded Widget, the Rest API, the Console) does not store or handle biometrics nor even know anything about them. It is the responsibility of the selected facial recognition engine by the application owner (eg website or web application you use) to choose a cloud storage region or opt for on-premises deployment for storing biometrics hash.

Hi HN,

My team and I, developed PixLab as a independent product (kind of subsidiary now) back in 2017 for our parent company (Symisc Systems). Since then, the platform has grown to over 130 Computer Vision API endpoints[1], and hundreds of API consumers. We currently serve over 29 million API requests each month. We’ve bootstrapped PixLab entirely ourselves. Our goal is to build a product that developers enjoy using.

PixLab is a unified API platform that integrates vision, storage, prediction, annotation, and media processing. We offer cloud Rest APIs (https://pixlab.io/api), on-premises deployment (https://pixlab.io/on-premises), and embedded C/C++ SDK (https://sod.pixlab.io). Our API offering includes Face Detection|Blur|Recognition, Content Moderation, NSFW Classification, Passports/ID Scan, Gender/Age detection, Image Tagging, and many others[1]. We’d love you to try PixLab and let us know what you think. You can find out some production ready code samples at the samples page[2] and the Github repository[3]

The Google Search URL parameters are important to understand whether you are maximizing the conversion rate in your ad groups and optimizing your cost per click(CPC) rates in Google Analytics for your ad campaigns, improving your SEO(Search Engine Optimization) metrics for your e-commerce business, or collecting data for your social media project. Using custom parameters for your search will affect the Search Engine Result Page (SERP) data significantly in your favor. SerpApi unlocks the power of SERP data to you with minimal effort, the fastest response times, and in the most complete form.

A SERP API key set in the SERP_API_KEY variable.

SERPApi: SERPApi is a powerful tool that provides developers with an easy and efficient way to extract search engine results page (SERP) data using API.

Assuming privacy is not a concern for coding questions, you can use the following web search APIs to augment your LLM's knowledge - Google's web search API: https://serpapi.com/ - You.com's web-search API: https://api.you.com/ - Metaphor's web-search API: https://platform.metaphor.systems/ - StackExchange question search API: https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/advanced-search

I run a large Rails application (https://serpapi.com), and the issues that would be solved with the type system would be close to nil.

SerpApi is an API for scraping Google and other search engines with fast, easy, and complete solutions. Our team is tackling a challenge within our operational database where we house a Locations collection featuring predefined data structures. We aim to offer these locations to clients reliably and allow them to utilize these in their searches with SerpApi's Google Search API, demonstrating the interconnected functionality of various types of databases.
