Detect faces in an image or video. Use this API to get the list of faces detected in the image or video to use in the [face swap photo](https://docs.magichour.ai/api-reference/image-projects/face-swap-photo) or [face swap video](https://docs.magichour.ai/api-reference/video-projects/face-swap-video) API calls for multi-face swaps. Note: Face detection is free to use for the near future. Pricing may change in the future. MCP guidance: - This starts an async face-detection task and returns an `id`. Use the face-detection details endpoint with that id to retrieve detected faces before doing individual face swaps. - For `*_file_path` values, prefer an existing Magic Hour file path or a `file_path` returned by the upload-URL endpoint after the file bytes are uploaded. Direct public media URLs may work when they are stable, fetchable, and return raw file bytes, but hotlinked URLs can fail; when in doubt, use the presigned upload flow first and pass the returned `file_path`.
