New Face API connector not usable directly in powerapps due to no convert to binary

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 90

Id like to know if i have missed something here but as far as i can see, the new Face API connector is not usable in powerapps.
I can call functions like "Detect", but in the URI they expect binary data.

The camera only captures base64 data & there is no way in powerapps to convert between the two, so i have to do this via Flow.
But if im using flow, i may as well just do everything via flow.


I cannot see the use for the API connector without  this convert functionality directly in powerapps.


Is this assessment correct?

    Hi,

     

    Looking through this, this definitely is an oddity. I cant quite figure out if there is something that I am missing or if it really is intended to only be usable in flow. I would recommend opening a ticket with Microsoft Support on this. They should be able to get this figured out for you. I'll include a link below; on how to open a case if you need it. If any other communities members know feel free to chime in.

     

    If you would like to create a ticket with Microsoft Customer Support here is a link on how to do so: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/get-help-support

     

    Regards,

     

    Alex
