Problem parsing a file in the Face API

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

I'm trying to play with the new Face API, so when a new image file is dropped in a OneDrive folder, the Face API recognizes the face and add the output to a table in Excel.

 

But it doesn't seem that Face API is able to parse the file path output from OneDrive, ending up in a invalid file path error on every run. I've tried the same flow with Box files and same result.

 

Any suggestions?

    Hi Outlooknerd,

     

    I guess that your flow is configured likes below:

    I am not sure if the “File path” is supported in Detect faces action, I will try to confirm from my side and back to you.

     

    Best regards,

    Hi Mabel

     

    Yes, thats exactly my problem. Seems that the Face API needs the full URL, which is not provided by the OneDrive output.

    Hi all,

    that is exactly my challenge now. The Face API needs a full URL to the Image but OneDrive cannot provide such a link.

    Did you manage to solve this? I am experiencing the same problem... I have even directly referenced web URL files and get the same issue... can't for the life of me understand what is going on.

    I'm having the same issue. I want to send an image taken from camera to FaceAPI and don't know how to send the image as URL.

    I hope someone can help!
