• I created an account in : https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-US/subscriptions with Face-Free soubscription : ok I have 2 keys

(not azure account)

• now, I am trying to test in API Face Detect online :

https://westeurope.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/563879b61984550e40cbbe8d/operations/563879b61984550f30395236/console

All my keys return 401

Sorry for my bad english : but where I have false ?

Answer 1

Your non-Azure key you've obtained is for the westus region. You therefore have two options:

• Use the westus API endpoint. This may have latency implications depending on where you are, and where your images are located.

• Create a Face API account based on an Azure subscription. When you do so, you will be able to obtain a westeurope API key.
