{% endhint %}

Oz API Lite is the lightweight yet powerful version of Oz API. The Lite version is less resource-demanding, more productive, and easier to work with. The analyses are made within the API Lite image.  As Oz API Lite doesn't include any additional services like statistics or data storage, this version is the one to use when you need a high performance.

To check the Biometry processor, [call](/oz-knowledge/guides/developer-guide/api/oz-api-lite/api-methods.md#health-biometric-processor-status-check) `GET /v1/face/pattern/health`.

To perform the liveness check for an image, [call](/oz-knowledge/guides/developer-guide/api/oz-api-lite/api-methods.md#detect-presentation-attack-detection) `POST /v1/face/liveness/detect` (it takes an image as an input and displays the evaluation of spoofing attack chance in this image)
