From BioStar 2 v2.8.8, BioStar 2 supports FaceStation F2 and Visual Face as a user credential. 


Since BioStar 2 New Local API Swagger does not implement for Visual Face Enrollment, we share the temporary descriptions and a patch file as follows.


With respect to the APIs used for Visual Face Enrollment Link, you can check it in Swagger with the patch file at the last part of this article.


The APIs that cannot be added to the current Swagger patch are:
1. GET /api/devices/{device_id}/credentials/face?pose_sensitivity=0
2. PUT /api/users/{user_id}
3. PUT /api/users/check/upload_picture



  • Getting Visual Face on the FaceStation F2

{"template_ex_ir": "Base64 : AAAAAAEAGAG2AcYA9AAAAAAAX...", "credential_bin_type": "6"}
],
