facematch's Introduction

Hi

Here's Facematch, a wrapper for the Facebook Face Recognition feature. I coded it super quickly to recognize my friends when they ring at the door. This is very simple at the moment and there's much to improve (almost no error handlers).

How does it work?

When you upload a picture on Facebook, the /photos/tagging/recognition endpoint is called. This program uploads a private picture (using Facebook API) + calls the recognition endpoint (by simulating a browser using the user's information).

Requirements

Facebook App ID / App Secret (register a new app here: https://developers.facebook.com/apps)
An active Facebook Account with friends (Facebook only recognizes your friends)

Getting Started

I) Install

$ git clone https://github.com/louisondumont/facematch
$ cd facematch
$ npm install

II) Edit config.js

1) Insert your App ID and Secret

2) Go to Facebook, open DevTools > Network.

3) Upload any picture but don't press "Post".

4) Look for the "recognition" endpoint.

5) "Request" > copy-paste the entire "cookie" string in config.js

6) "Form" (raw source) > copy-paste everything from "__user=" in config.js (req_params)

III) Start the server

You can change the http port in config.js

$ node index.js

IV) Get your access token

Navigate to http://localhost:3000/getAccessToken and give access to your Facebook account.

V) Recognize people

POST http://localhost:3000/recognize (accessToken = YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN, url = YOUR_IMG_URL)

YAY! Now you can do like Mark and build your intelligent house.

facematch's Issues

Error getting imgUrl and accessToken (undefined:1)

I've located the source of a couple small errors. Lines 11 and 12 in /lib/recognize.js should be

var imgUrl = req.query.url, accessToken = req.query.accessToken;

Also, if you're still have trouble, the problem might be your accessToken. Be sure to allow your facebook app to post for you!

undefined:1 exiting server

Hi,

I love the idea, but I can't get it to work.. I did everything step with no problem but when i'm trying to POST a request, i get this message in my terminal :

undefined:1
SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input
at Object.parse (native)
at Request.cb as _callback
at Request.self.callback (/Users/david/facematch/node_modules/request/request.js:199:22)
at emitTwo (events.js:100:13)
at Request.emit (events.js:185:7)
at Request. (/Users/david/facematch/node_modules/request/request.js:1036:10)
at emitOne (events.js:95:20)
at Request.emit (events.js:182:7)
at IncomingMessage. (/Users/david/facematch/node_modules/request/request.js:963:12)
at emitNone (events.js:85:20)

And I get no response header from POST request with status 0!

Thanks !

Scope "publish_actions" removed from sdk, leaving app completely non-functional

According to the fb developer news at link:

The publish_actions permission will be deprecated. This permission granted apps access to publish posts to Facebook as the logged in user. Apps created from today onwards will not have access to this permission. Apps created before today that have been previously approved to request publish_actions can continue to do so until August 1, 2018. No further apps will be approved to use publish_actions via app review. Developers currently utilizing publish_actions are encouraged to switch to Facebook's Share dialogs for web, iOS and Android.

Thus there seems to be no way to post to facebook, and thus rendering this app non-functional.

Can't find Step 2

Hi there,

Wondering if you can help with some broken links in your instructions.

Go to Facebook, open DevTools > Network.

I cannot find where this is in Facebook. Maybe they changed things, again. Can you point me in right direction?

Large scale app

Could I use this if I intend on making a large scale iOS and Android app?

All links to images are broken

No images display in the readme

Can I use Facematch to find user pics from my albums?

Hey. Awesome job. Thanks.

I was wondering if this use-case would be feasible:

I have Facebook a page with albums with lots of picture of random people. I also have a website.
User X logs in one my website using their own Facebook account.
Facematch tries to find user X pictures among the pictures of my Facebook page.

That is probably not possible yet. Doesn't hurt to ask though.

Thanks again.

Any resources for android ?

It's a great job you did here! I want to implement this feature into my Android App, how can I get started!! because I'm a beginner.

Readme

In README, you refer to "Facebook DevTools" when I think you're talking about chrome's.

Not able to find DevTools and it's Network

Step 2 mention is not found, please help me. Is it got changed.

Empty Results

I've set up everything accordingly to the instructions. When making the POST request after (around) 7000 ms I get returned an empty response. Not sure if Facebook changed the way it handles recognition or I've got something set up wrongly on my end.

Not Found <br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/">Back to Facebook.</a>

I am launching the http://localhost:3000/recognize on postman but I keep getting this error in the terminal: "Not Found
Back to Facebook.". Did anyone have the same issue?

'Cannot Get' error when calling recognize function

Hi,

I'm struggling to get this to work. While using the URL below I get the following error:

ERROR:

Cannot GET /recognize%20(accessToken%20=%20EAAYcwd6ZBkLoBAHq7I1MntDH2CXDAPBgq3zjrYZC5RM6z37ZAu8faJjiXn2ZCZAVb9Syw6kauQ92cZB8ZCvtCtiUnHRRy8DGPHuS2ZA7c1mKMlPhQ7ZA0bjbW5LHO7uSrIu0yOdf6FZCbveLiuOxHJUffe7BhIrKLdLR65qfBLUT6P2gZDZD,%20url%20=%20http://local.host/~Brandon/images/1.png)

URL:

The url for the image seems to be working fine, and I've tried using different access tokens.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Only with your own friends correct?

Facematch will only recognize your facebook friends right? it will not make relations to any other user in Facebook?

Thanks!

TypeError: Cannot read property 'faceboxes' of undefined

I have this error after image posts on Facebook.

I hope you can help me.

Error While Using Access Token and Image URL

Hi,

I'm struggling to get this to work. While using the URL below I get the following error:

ERROR:

URL:

The url for the image seems to be working fine, and I've tried using different access tokens but I continue to get the same error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Image URL

I think I have everything set up, but it seems like the image URLs aren't working as after running the server and doing the POST request, I get an error about it being "undefined: 1" [Not Found] and a link back to Facebook. Wondering if I should be putting in the URL to an existing Facebook image or if I can use a local image and it will recognize it (or if this isn't the main problem). Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Novice Seeking Assistance! How to use POST?

Hi @louisondumont !

Thank you so much for your work on this project! This is my first time with Node.js, and for the most part Javascript. If you could humor me at your earliest convenience, since the screenshots no longer seem to be live, could you describe how to use the POST line? I have my external image URL and accesstoken from Facebook. Everything else ostensibly seems to be setup correctly. I am just struggling where to enter the line as directed, since I am not having any luck entering the line in the Node.js command prompt, and Git Bash doesn't seem to help either (seriously, big novice!)

Obviously, going to the 'recognize' site also doesn't allow me to enter arguments, and while the index.js is running in Node, the Node terminal doesn't seem to take arguments either (nor would the browser, as it seems).

I am using Windows 10 x64, if it matters.

Thanks!
Sincerely,
Marcus
