Facial recognition

Facecheck.id OSINT integration

Facial recognition matches from a photo file or public image URL.

Run Facecheck.idAPI reference

Facecheck.id compares a query image against faces indexed from public web pages — social media, news and blogs, videos, mugshots, sex-offender sites, and scammer listings — and returns scored matches with thumbnails and source URLs. Searches may run asynchronously — SearchIn polls until results complete.

How the Facecheck.id integration works

What happens between pressing run and reading a result.

  1. 1Choose Image, then upload a photo or paste a direct image URL.
  2. 2SearchIn submits the image to Facecheck.id, which may return an asynchronous job.
  3. 3SearchIn polls that job to completion for you — no search ID tracking or retry logic on your side.
  4. 4Scored matches render as a thumbnail grid with source links, filterable by confidence and host.
Data coverage
What the underlying dataset reaches.

FaceCheck indexes faces from public web pages: social media, news and blogs, videos, mugshots, sex-offender sites, and scammer listings. It publishes match bands from 50 to 100 and says a face match alone is not an identification.

Data sources

SearchIn sends a photo or image URL to FaceCheck and polls until the job finishes. The categories below are the sources FaceCheck lists on its homepage.

What a SearchIn query returns
A query returns scored visual matches for one photo. SearchIn filters at 90%+, 80%+, and 70%+.
Each match has a score, a thumbnail, and a source URL.
FaceCheck says its AI is trained not to index children’s faces, and that it indexes public web pages only.
FaceCheck says the service is not for decisions about credit, employment, insurance, or tenant screening.
A score is a similarity. FaceCheck says unrelated people can look alike, and a match is not an identification.

Why run Facecheck.id through OSINTverse

You can always buy Facecheck.id directly. Here is what changes when the same data comes through SearchIn instead. Full write-up: OSINTverse vs Facecheck.id.

SearchIn polls the async job until it completes, so a face search behaves like every other query.

File upload and image URL both run through the same POST /v1/search call.

Score filters (90%+, 80%+, 70%+) and host filtering are built into the result panel.

Getting startedFacecheck.id sells credits against its own account and API token, and its API returns asynchronous jobs you have to poll yourself.Sign in, top up from $10, and run Facecheck.id the same minute — no vendor contract, seat, or sales call.
What a query costsPlan, credit pack, or contract pricing set by the vendor and paid up front.Pay per query from your prepaid balance — Facecheck.id starts at $0.50 for image lookups, with the exact price shown before you run it.
Failed lookupsHandled under the vendor's own credit and refund policy.Automatically refunded to your wallet — a search that fails upstream after billing is not charged.
Output formatA vendor-specific response shape you normalise and render yourself.Normalised result panels plus the raw JSON, returned by the same POST /v1/search contract as every other integration.
Cross-source workCopy-paste between vendor dashboards to follow a lead into another dataset.Results join one case graph, so you can pivot an entity into any of the other 16 integrations in a click.
Running it for a teamPer-seat or per-account access, billed and administered per analyst.One shared team wallet with roles, provider allowlists, enforced MFA, and audit history — no per-seat fee.
Volume workScript the vendor API yourself, including retries, polling, and rate handling.Bulk search takes up to 50 queries across selected providers in one submission (max 100 jobs), with per-job status and partial-failure handling.

What every integration inherits

One wallet, no subscriptions
Top up prepaid USD from $10 and spend it a query at a time across all 17 integrations. No monthly fee, no seat count — and the balance never expires.
Failed searches are refunded
If an upstream provider errors or times out after the charge, the search is marked refunded and the money goes back to your wallet automatically.
One API for every source
The same POST /v1/search contract and x-api-key header work for every integration, so adding a source to your automation is a one-word change.
Cases and pivot graph
Results land in a named case you can reopen. Entities become graph nodes you can pivot from into any other integration without retyping.
Team wallets and controls
Share one balance with roles, provider allowlists, enforced MFA, and audit history — instead of buying a vendor seat for every analyst.
Exports built in
Download any result as JSON, CSV, or PDF, and export the case graph as PNG, SVG, entities CSV, or graph JSON.

Good to know

Constraints worth reading before you spend a query.

Matches are similarity scores, not identifications. FaceCheck’s own warning is that unrelated people can look alike.

Coverage is public pages FaceCheck has indexed: social media, news, video, mugshots, sex-offender sites, and scammer listings. A no-match is not proof of absence.

FaceCheck says it does not index children’s faces, and that results must not be used for credit, employment, insurance, or tenant decisions.

Going direct still makes sense at sustained high volume on a single source. Facecheck.id sells credits against its own account and API token, and its API returns asynchronous jobs you have to poll yourself. Through SearchIn you trade that commitment for per-query pricing across 17 integrations.
