Detect & Find Faces and Landmarks (Eyes, Nose & Mouth) in an Image using Go

Our facial recognition API targets key features of the human face and returns each identified feature with x/y coordinates indicating its location within the image. For example, the tag for an eyebrow identified on the right side of a face would return as such:

"RightEyebrow": [
        {
          "X": 0,
          "Y": 0

With code samples below, you can easily take advantage of this API for your Go project. Copy and paste, including your file & API key where indicated, and await your results:

package main
import (
     "fmt"
     "bytes"
     "mime/multipart"
     "os"
     "path/filepath"
     "io"
     "net/http"
     "io/ioutil"
)
func main() {
url := "https://api.cloudmersive.com/image/face/locate-with-landmarks"
     method := "POST"
payload := &bytes.Buffer{}
     writer := multipart.NewWriter(payload)
     file, errFile1 := os.Open("/path/to/file")
     defer file.Close()
     part1,
         errFile1 := writer.CreateFormFile("imageFile",filepath.Base("/path/to/file"))
     _, errFile1 = io.Copy(part1, file)
     if errFile1 != nil {
          fmt.Println(errFile1)
          return
     }
     err := writer.Close()
     if err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
          return
     }
client := &http.Client {
     }
     req, err := http.NewRequest(method, url, payload)
if err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
          return
     }
     req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data")
     req.Header.Add("Apikey", "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE")
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", writer.FormDataContentType())
     res, err := client.Do(req)
     if err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
          return
     }
     defer res.Body.Close()
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
     if err != nil {
          fmt.Println(err)
          return
     }
     fmt.Println(string(body))
}
