Welcome to Identix One Python’s documentation!¶
identixone-python¶

A Python package for interacting with the Identix.one API
Free software: MIT license
Package documentation: https://identixone-python.readthedocs.io/
API documentation: https://kb.identix.one/
API changelog: https://kb.identix.one/#/apichangelog
Current supported most recent API version: 1.14.2
Current stable package version: 0.1.6.3
Installation¶
Install from PyPi using pip, a package manager for Python.
pip install identixone
Don’t have pip installed? Try installing it, by running this from the command line:
$ curl https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py | python
Or, you can download the source code
(ZIP) for
identixone-python
, and then run:
python setup.py install
You may need to run the above commands with sudo
.
API Credentials¶
Get your free API token for development at https://identix.one
Getting Started¶
First of all, specify your API token and API version in Client:
from identixone.api import Client
version = 1
token = 'XXX'
client = Client(token, version)
You can also configure Client using environment variables with prefix IDENTIXONE_ and uppercase key (e.g. TOKEN, VERSION):
from identixone.api import Client
os.environ['IDENTIXONE_TOKEN'] = 'XXX'
os.environ['IDENTIXONE_VERSION'] = '1'
client = Client()
Now just make calls using client instance as if you were interacting with HTTP API.
For example, create source:
response = client.sources.create(name='source_name')
response.json()
# {"id": 1, "name": "source_name", "pps_timestamp": False, ... }
Or list some entries with filters:
import datetime
date_from = datetime.datetime(year=2019, month=1, day=13, hour=19,
minute=20, second=1)
date_to = datetime.datetime(year=2019, month=1, day=22, hour=19,
minute=20, second=1)
r = client.entries.list(date_from=date_from, date_to=date_to)
print(r.json())
# {"count": 1, "next": "url", "previous": "url", "results": [{ ... }]}
Or even compare two faces how similar they are:
from identixone.base.choices import Conf
response = client.utility.compare(
photo1, photo2,
liveness_photo1=False, liveness_photo2=False,
conf=Conf.JUNK)
response.json()
# {"similar": True, "conf": "ha", "liveness_photo1": False, "liveness_photo2": True}
Full examples are inside examples.py file in the root of this repo.

Installation¶
Stable release¶
To install Identix One Python, run this command in your terminal:
$ pip install identixone
This is the preferred method to install Identix One Python, as it will always install the most recent stable release.
If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.
From sources¶
The sources for Identix One Python can be downloaded from the Github repo.
You can either clone the public repository:
$ git clone git://github.com/identixone/identixone
Or download the tarball:
$ curl -OL https://github.com/identixone/identixone/tarball/master
Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:
$ python setup.py install
Usage¶
Get your free API token for development at https://identix.one
To use Identix One Python in a project create instance of Client:
from identixone.api import Client
version = 1
token = 'XXX'
client = Client(token, version)
You can also configure Client using environment variables with prefix IDENTIXONE_ and uppercase key (e.g. TOKEN, VERSION):
from identixone.api import Client
os.environ['IDENTIXONE_TOKEN'] = 'XXX'
os.environ['IDENTIXONE_VERSION'] = '1'
client = Client()
Now just make calls using client instance as if you were interacting with HTTP API.
For example, create source:
response = client.sources.create(name='source_name')
response.json()
# {"id": 1, "name": "source_name", "pps_timestamp": False, ... }
Or list some entries with filters:
import datetime
date_from = datetime.datetime(year=2019, month=1, day=13, hour=19,
minute=20, second=1)
date_to = datetime.datetime(year=2019, month=1, day=22, hour=19,
minute=20, second=1)
r = client.entries.list(date_from=date_from, date_to=date_to)
print(r.json())
# {"count": 1, "next": "url", "previous": "url", "results": [{ ... }]}
Or even compare two faces how similar they are:
from identixone.base.choices import Conf
response = client.utility.compare(
photo1, photo2,
liveness_photo1=False, liveness_photo2=False,
conf=Conf.JUNK)
response.json()
# {"similar": True, "conf": "ha", "liveness_photo1": False, "liveness_photo2": True}

Get Started!¶
Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up identixone for local development.
Fork the identixone repo on GitHub.
Clone your fork locally:
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/identixone-python.git
Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
$ mkvirtualenv identixone $ cd identixone/ $ python setup.py develop
Create a branch for local development:
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
$ flake8 identixone tests $ python setup.py test or py.test $ tox
To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:
$ git add . $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes." $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
Pull Request Guidelines¶
Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:
The pull request should include tests.
If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
The pull request should work for Python 3.5 and 3.6. Check https://travis-ci.org/identixone/identixone-python/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
Tips¶
To run a subset of tests:
$ py.test tests.test_identixone
Deploying¶
A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:
$ bumpversion patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags
Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.

History¶
0.1.6.3 (2019-09-10)¶
Added persons lists module
0.1.5 (2019-07-01)¶
Returned entries module
Removed records module
0.1.4 (2019-06-20)¶
Removed Python 3.4 support
Library updated to the new (1.12) API version
Removed entries module
Fixed places where default values were different than default API values.
Fixed several API calls where default values should not be provided.
0.1.3 (2019-04-05)¶
Fixed several API calls where default values should not be provided.
Fixed places where default values were different than default API values.
0.1.2 (2019-04-01)¶
API Changelog is now constantly updated here: https://kb.identix.one/#/apichangelog
Updated documentation to show how to configure client with env variables
Records endpoints are now deprecated
Added new Entries and Entries Stats endpoints for RESTful manipulation with data (meant to replace and enhance records functionality)
Added new Person Entries endpoint: create new person by providing id of NM entry
Added examples of newly added endpoints
0.1.1 (2019-03-16)¶
Updated docstrings for main functions
New type of exception ImproperlyConfigured that replaces more general error in several places
Added conf choices where applicable
Added missing methods to bulk delete tokens with filtration (permanent/temporary/both)
Added new source option store_images_for_confs, introduced in 1.9.0 API
Added choices NotificationHTTPMethod of notifications http_method parameter for convenience
Utility compare function now has default conf which equals HA. It reflects now default API behaviour
Removed CHANGES.md because it is redundant. All changes are going to be reflected here, there’s no need to duplicate info.
Fixed a bug with env variables (fixed one typo & inability to override vars by setting env variables instead of providing them as parameters to init of Client)
Fixed: previously you could provide your own http_client to the Client instance, but it required instance with already supplied token (so you basically needed to provide token in two places). Now you provide only class in http_client and initialization in Client will create instance with provided token for you.
0.1.0 (2019-02-18)¶
First release on PyPI.
