# Checking Liveness and Face Biometry

{% hint style="info" %}

## **If you use our SDK just for capturing videos, omit this step.**

{% endhint %}

## OzCapsula (SDK v8.22 and newer)

At the [Capturing Videos](https://doc.ozforensics.com/oz-knowledge/guides/developer-guide/sdk/oz-mobile-sdk/ios/pages/MhZCjAYwIhr8BZbk5YcT#ozcapsula-sdk-v8.22-and-newer) step you've created a data container with all the required information in it , so now just send it to analysis using the `addContainer(container)` and `run` methods.

```swift
func onResult(container: DataContainer) {
  let analysisRequest = AnalysisRequestBuilder()
  analysisRequest.addContainer(container)
  analysisRequest.run(
            statusHandler: { status in
            },
            errorHandler: { error in
            }
        ) { result in
        }
}
```

## SDK 8.21 and older

To check liveness and face biometry, you need to upload media to our system and then analyze them.

{% hint style="info" %}
To interpret the results of analyses, please refer to [Types of Analyses](/oz-knowledge/guides/developer-guide/api/oz-api/types-of-analyses-and-what-they-check.md).
{% endhint %}

Below, you'll see the example of performing a check and its description.

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```swift
let analysisRequest = AnalysisRequestBuilder()
// create one or more analyses
let analysis = Analysis.init(
	media: mediaToAnalyze, // mediaToAnalyze is an array of OzMedia that were captured or otherwise created
	type: .quality, // check the analysis types in iOS methods
	mode: .serverBased) // or .onDevice if you want the on-device analysis
analysisRequest.uploadMedia(mediaToAnalyze)
analysisRequest.addAnalysis(analysis)
// initiate the analyses
analysisRequest.run(
	statusHandler: { state in }, // scenario steps progress handler
	errorHandler: { _ in }  
) { result in
    // receive and handle analyses results here 
}
```

{% endcode %}

To delete media files after the checks are finished, use the `cleanTempDirectory` method.

### Adding Metadata

To add metadata to a folder, use `AnalysisRequest.addFolderMeta`.

```swift
let analysis = Analysis.init(media: mediaToAnalyze, type: .quality, mode: .serverBased)
var folderMeta: [String: Any] = ["key1": "value1"]
analysisRequest.addFolderMeta(folderMeta)
...
```

### Extracting the Best Shot

In the `params` field of the `Analysis` structure, you can pass any additional parameters (key + value), for instance, to extract the best shot on the server side.

```swift
let analysis = Analysis.init(media: mediaToAnalyze, type: .quality, mode: .serverBased, params: [“extract_best_shot” : true])
```

### Using Media from Another SDK

To use a media file that is captured with another SDK (not Oz iOS SDK), specify the path to it in the [OzMedia](https://doc.ozforensics.com/oz-knowledge/guides/developer-guide/sdk/oz-mobile-sdk/ios/pages/BVX89LL3HSWuDVvGUadK#h.hizmhq9c5cq9) structure (the `bestShotURL` property):

```swift
let referenceMedia = OZMedia.init(movement: .selfie,
                  mediaType: .movement,
                  metaData: ["meta":"data"],
                  videoURL: nil,
                  bestShotURL: imageUrl,
                  preferredMediaURL: nil,
                  timestamp: Date())
```

### Adding Media to a Certain Folder

If you want to add your media to the existing folder, use the `addFolderId` method:

```swift
let analysis = Analysis.init(media: mediaToAnalyze, type: .quality, mode: .serverBased)
analysisRequest.addFolderId(IdRequired)
```
