Didit Face Match API
Overview
Compares two facial images to determine if they belong to the same person. Returns a similarity score (0-100).
Key constraints:
- Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF
- Maximum file size: 5MB per image
- If multiple faces in an image, the largest face is used for comparison
- Both

Authentication
All requests require x-api-key header. Get your key from Didit Business Console → API & Webhooks, or via programmatic registration (see below).
Getting Started (No Account Yet?)
If you don't have a Didit API key, create one in 2 API calls:
- Register:
POST https://apx.didit.me/auth/v2/programmatic/register/with{"email": "[email protected]", "password": "MyStr0ng!Pass"} - Check email for a 6-character OTP code
- Verify:
POST https://apx.didit.me/auth/v2/programmatic/verify-email/with{"email": "[email protected]", "code": "A3K9F2"}→ response includesapi_key
GET /v3/billing/balance/ to check, POST /v3/billing/top-up/ with {"amount_in_dollars": 50} for a Stripe checkout link.See the didit-verification-management skill for full platform management (workflows, sessions, users, billing).

Status Values & Handling
| Status | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| "Approved" | Score >= threshold | Faces match — proceed |
| "Declined" | Score < threshold or no face | Check warnings for details. May need better image |
| "In Review" | Needs manual review | Wait for review or retrieve via session API |
Error Responses
| Code | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid request | Check file format, size, parameters |
| 401 | Invalid API key | Verify x-api-key header |
| 403 | Insufficient credits | Top up at business.didit.me |
Response Field Reference
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| status | string | "Approved", "Declined", "In Review" |
| score | integer | 0-100 similarity score (higher = more similar). null if no face found |
| entities[].age | float | Estimated age |
| entities[].bbox | array | Face bounding box [x1, y1, x2, y2] |
| entities[].confidence | float | Face detection confidence (0-1) |
| entities[].gender | string | "male" or "female" |
| best_angle | integer | Best rotation angle for the face |
| warnings | array | {risk, log_type, short_description, long_description} |
Warning Tags
| Tag | Description | Auto-Decline |
|---|---|---|
| NO_REFERENCE_IMAGE | Reference or face image missing | Yes |
| NO_FACE_DETECTED | No face detected in one or both images | Yes |
| LOW_FACE_MATCH_SIMILARITY | Score below threshold — potential identity mismatch | Configurable |
Security best practice: Only store the status and score. Minimize biometric image data on your servers. Image URLs (in workflow mode) expire after 60 minutes.
Score Interpretation
| Score Range | Interpretation | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 90-100 | Very high confidence — same person | Auto-approve |
| 70-89 | High confidence — likely same person | Approve (default threshold 30) |
| 50-69 | Moderate — possible match | Consider manual review |
| 30-49 | Low — likely different people | Declined at default threshold |
| 0-29 | Very low — different people | Declined |
