How to Use FRS

You can access FRS on a web-based service management platform, that is, the management console, or using HTTPS-based APIs. FRS provides services through open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).To use it, you need to integrate FRS to a third-party system.

Enable FRS on the management console and then call APIs to use it on the third-party system. The process is as follows:

1. Apply for the service.

   Before using the service, log in to the FRS management console to enable the service. You only need to enable the service once.

   

   To operate OBS data when using FRS, authorize FRS to access OBS first. On the page for enabling services, click Service Authorization in the upper right corner to complete OBS authorization.

2. Obtain request authentication.

   You can use either of the following authentication methods when calling APIs. For details about the authentication, see Authentication.

   • Token authentication: Requests are authenticated using tokens.
   • AK/SK authentication: Encrypts API calling requests using the access key ID (AK) and secret access key (SK). The AK/SK authentication is more secure.
3. Call an API.

   FRS provides services as APIs. For details, see the Face Recognition Service API Reference.

4. View service usage.

   You can view the number of successful service API calls on the FRS management console.
