Snapshot - Get Operation Status
To mitigate potential misuse that can subject people to stereotyping, discrimination, or unfair denial of services, we are retiring Face API attributes that predict emotion, gender, age, smile, facial hair, hair, and makeup. Read more about this decision here. We will also retire the Snapshot API, which allowed biometric data transfer from one Face subscription to another. Existing customers have until 30 June 2023 to use the emotion, gender, age, smile, facial hair, hair, and makeup attributes and the Snapshot API through Face API before they are retired.
Get status of a snapshot operation.
