Identify the Gender of People in an Image using Go

With high-powered facial recognition capabilities, our Image API’s gender detection iteration will find a face within an image and provide a JSON result with a Gender Classification Confidence score & a Gender Class determination. It’ll also return the coordinates of the face it recognized during the operation. Here’s a preview of a full JSON response model:

{
  "Successful": true,
  "PersonWithGender": [
    {
      "FaceLocation": {
        "LeftX": 0,
        "TopY": 0,
        "RightX": 0,
        "BottomY": 0
      },
      "GenderClassificationConfidence": 0,
      "GenderClass": "string"
    }
  ],
  "PeopleIdentified": 0
}

To take advantage of this API in your Go project, copy & paste code included below from our API console page. All you need to do is supply your image file & API key where indicated:

package main
import (
     "fmt"
     "bytes"
     "mime/multipart"
     "os"
     "path/filepath"
     "io"
     "net/http"
     "io/ioutil"
)
func main() {
url := "https://api.cloudmersive.com/image/face/detect-gender"
     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))
}

If you’re short an API key, head to our website (www.cloudmersive.com) and create an account to get one. Our account tiers include a free option with a limit of 800 API calls per month.
