Quick Start

Get from zero to your first API call in under 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

• A Pulses sandbox ChannelKey (see Authentication)
• Any HTTP client (curl, Postman, or your language's HTTP library)

Step 1: Verify Your Key

curl -s "https://dewa.pulses.ai/Pulses/Gateway/Locations" \
  -H "ChannelKey: YOUR_CHANNEL_KEY" \
  -H "TransactionId: $(uuidgen)" | jq .

If your key is valid, you'll get a JSON array of locations.

Step 2: Try the Simulator

Head to the Simulator for an interactive walkthrough of the full face recognition pipeline:

1. Browse Infrastructure — see your locations, zones, and cameras
2. Enroll a Face — upload a photo to register a person
3. Simulate Detection — trigger a camera to "detect" the enrolled face
4. Lookup Customer — retrieve the person's details by Face ID

Step 3: Explore the API Reference

• Gateway Client API — enrollment, verification, customer lookup
• Gateway API — locations, zones, cameras, visitors

Step 4: Grab Starter Code

Copy working examples in your language:

• JavaScript / Node.js
• Python
• C# / .NET
