Request URL

Request parameters

string

LargePersonGroupId of target person group.

Request headers

string
Subscription key which provides access to this API. Found in your Cognitive Services accounts.

Request body

Response 200

A successful call returns the large person group's training status.

JSON fields in response body:

Fields Type Description
status String Training status: notstarted, running, succeeded, failed. If the large person group has never been trained before, the status is notstarted. If the training is ongoing, the status is running. Status succeed means this large person group is ready for Face - Identify. Status failed is often caused by no person or no persisted face exist in the large person group.
createdDateTime String A combined UTC date and time string that describes the last time when the large person group is requested to train. E.g. 2018-10-15T11:51:27.6872495Z.
lastActionDateTime String A combined UTC date and time string that describes the last time the large person group's training status was modifed. E.g. 2018-10-15T11:51:27.8705696Z.
lastSuccessfulTrainingDateTime String A combined UTC date and time string that describes the large person group's last successful training time. E.g. 2018-10-15T11:51:27.8705696Z.
message String Show failure message when training failed (omitted when training succeed).
