    Passing Resources

      Uploading Resources

      Background

      When backend APIs are used, due to requirements for stability and regional isolation of resources, we first need to use COS links to replace all files to be uploaded, and the Tencent Cloud backend will then download required files via HTTP GET requests based on these links.

      Input Requirements

      /Note: If you have not activated COS or don't know how to use it, but you want to complete the integration quickly, see the Best Practices first./
      The input links must meet the following requirements:
      A link must be a COS domain name, and the bucket region must be same as the region given in the API to use. For example, for a service using ap-singapore as the region, the link should be like this: https://<your-bucket>-<your-appid>.cos.ap-singapore.myqcloud.com. For details, see Regions and Access Endpoints.
      A link must be directly accessible to a GET request from a public network.

      Best Practices

      Uploading with created COS buckets

      If you have COS buckets or you need to store files in your COS buckets for any other reason, you can use this method:
      Use the Put Bucket API or Creating a Bucket in the console. Make sure the bucket region is same as the region of the API to use.
      Upload the object with the PUT Object API.
      Calculate the 32-bit MD5 checksum of the object (the object downloaded in the Tencent Cloud backend will be checked with this checksum to prevent file disorder).
      Download via Pre-Signed URL. Make sure this link is available for getting the object within a specified period.

      Transferring resources with CreateUploadUrl

      If you do not need to use your COS buckets, we provide a separate API CreateUploadUrl to help you temporarily store resources and generate addressable links:
      Use CreateUploadUrl to input TargetAction (such as DetectReflectLivenessAndCompare) and region (such as ap-singapore).
      Within the specified period, upload the resources using the HTTP PUT method based on the returned UploadUrl.
      Calculate the 32-bit MD5 checksum of the object (the object downloaded in the Tencent Cloud backend will be checked with this checksum to prevent file disorder).
      Input ResourceUrl and the calculated MD5 in the DetectReflectLivenessAndCompare API.

      Other Notes

      Data storage security

      The CreateUploadUrl API provided by us does not support directly deleting data, and the data will be cleaned on a regular basis (per two hours currently). If you pursue a more rigorous and safer practice, we recommend you use your COS buckets, and take some precautions for the objects to upload after you use the API.

      Roles of MD5

      The Content-MD5 is used to provide content integrity check to prevent your object from being overwritten. Even if you use the same object or link in multiple comparison requests, our backend still returns a low similarity result, and you may be unaware of this error. Therefore, you need to calculate MD5 with your backend, which is also true in the SDK case as the SDK doesn’t provide an MD5 check for the reason of backend disorder.

      FAQs

      Common errors during integration

      The service returns invalid resourceUrl. In this case, check whether the input URL meets the COS domain name requirement stated in the # Input Requirements.
      The service returns FailedOperation.DownLoadError. In this case, check whether the input URL is directly accessible from a public network.
      The service returns MD5 Error. In this case, check whether the content downloaded via the URL is same as what you calculated. For example, the DetectReflectLivenessAndCompare API needs two different URLs.
      Other errors that are not easy to be identified during integration may be content errors, such as invalid LiveData in the DetectReflectLivenessAndCompare API or the error FailedOperation.LifePhotoDetectFaces. The cause may be that you need to upload the binary data but not the Base64 data of the image.

      FAQs Online

      Some inevitable algorithm problems may appear after successful integration of the service. If this is the case, you can record the returned RequestIDs and your request parameters, and contact us.

      Downloading resources

      Some APIs return images. For example, DetectReflectLivenessAndCompare returns BestFrame. We do transfer these images with short-term URLs. You need to download or transfer these images in time before we clear them.
