In this tutorial, we’ll work through some planning, new imports from the Python standard library, write some python functions and store the results from the MCS Face API.
Hopefully you’ve played with the api in part 2 more thoroughly than I did! By the end of that tutorial, I passed a binary of a jpeg file to the MCS Face…
