Liveness Detection API by Swallow Incubate
A production-grade face anti-spoofing (Presentation Attack Detection, PAD) API designed for identity verification, electronic medical record authentication, and physical access control workflows.
Key Features
- Patented presentation-attack detection against printed-photo spoofing, with additional attack types on the product roadmap
- Sub-second latency suitable for real-time KYC and access control (target: under 500ms p95 in the Tokyo region)
- REST API with X-API-Key authentication - drop-in integration with any existing identity verification stack, no SDK required
- Single-shot static image input (JPEG/PNG, up to 10 MB) - liveness verdict from a single frame, no video capture flow required
- Primary/Secondary API key design for zero-downtime key rotation
- Customer console with TOTP MFA for usage, plan management, and key administration
Why Swallow Incubate
- Founded 2013 in Tsukuba - Japan's national science city
- 12 granted Japanese patents jointly with Panasonic - the core anti-spoofing patent is also granted in the United States, China, and India
- Deployed in production by leading Japanese enterprises since 2022 via SDK (medical record authentication, access control, attendance systems)
- ISO/IEC 27001 (ISMS) certification roadmap targeting 2026
Intended Use Cases
- Strengthening existing face recognition systems by adding liveness verification
- Identity verification (KYC) for financial services, government, and digital health platforms
- Physical access control combined with face recognition
- Workforce attendance and time tracking with anti-spoofing
What This API Returns
A structured JSON response containing a boolean PAD verdict (isFakeFace), a likelihood score (isFakeLikelihood), and face-quality metadata (face rectangle, brightness, validity). The API does not perform face recognition (identity matching) - it is designed to complement existing face recognition systems by detecting presentation attacks.
Data Privacy and Security
- Face images are NOT stored - they exist in memory only during the brief inference window and are immediately discarded after processing
- No model improvement use - your face images are never used to retrain or fine-tune our models
- Tokyo region only for primary processing (AWS ap-northeast-1)
- TLS 1.2+ in transit, AWS KMS encryption for all stored metadata
- GDPR Processor and CCPA Service Provider posture, with a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) available on request
- Full Security Whitepaper available under NDA
Plans Overview
Six subscription tiers from Free (50 calls/month) to Enterprise (100,000+ calls/month), with metered usage pricing for overage. Annual contracts available via private offers with 15% discount.
