+Example
+-------
+
+Here is a short example demonstrating how you can use this client.
+
+Lets say that we want to create our own private namespace and train it to recognize Guido Van Rossum.
+
+Here are the images which we will use for training our namespace index:
+
+| http://savasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/guido-van-rossum.jpg
+| http://farm1.static.flickr.com/43/104506247_c748f20b83.jpg
+| http://farm1.static.flickr.com/67/200126290_2798330e61.jpg
+
+And here is the image which hopefully, after training our index will be recognized as "Guido Van Rossum":
+
+http://farm1.static.flickr.com/41/104498903_bad315cee0.jpg
+
+#. First we create our private namespace named **testns** (this can be done on the `SkyBiometry page`_).
+
+#. Now we import the module and instantiate the class with our SkyBiometry **API_KEY** and **API_SECRET** (you can get them by registering your application on `SkyBiometry page`_)::
+
+    >> from face_client import FaceClient
+    >> client = FaceClient('API_KEY', 'API_SECRET')
+
+#. Before training our namespace index I just want to show you that the image is not already recognized::
+
+    >> client.faces_recognize('guido', 'http://farm1.static.flickr.com/41/104498903_bad315cee0.jpg', namespace = 'testns')
+
+    {

+                u'confirmed': False,
+                u'uids': [],
+                u'yaw': -45,

+                    u'glasses': {u'confidence': 27, u'value': u'false'},
+                    u'dark_glasses': {u'confidence': 89, u'value': u'false'},
+                    u'face': {u'confidence': 71, u'value': u'true'}
+                },
+                u'recognizable': True,
+                u'roll': 3,
+                u'center': {u'y': 35.73, u'x': 48.2}
+            }],
+            u'pid': u'F@08e31221350a43d267be01d572dc824b_1d12ece6a6ea2',
+            u'height': 375
+        }],
+        u'usage': {...omitted for clarity...}
+    }
+
+   As you can see, the "uids" list is empty, meaning that Guido Van Rossum is not yet recognized in our **testns** namespace.
+
+#. Saving the tags and training our index. For saving the tags, we need to provide the **tags_save** method with the tag ids, which we are obtained by using the **faces_detect** or **faces_recognize** method. In this example, I will use **faces_detect**::
+
+    >> response = client.faces_detect('http://savasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/guido-van-rossum.jpg,http://farm1.static.flickr.com/43/104506247_c748f20b83.jpg,http://farm1.static.flickr.com/67/200126290_2798330e61.jpg')
+    >> tids = [photo['tags'][0]['tid'] for photo in response['photos']]
+    >> tids
+
+    [
+        u'TEMP_F@0bf0294f6c43162105c9bdfa00bc00ab_15e78870a332a_47.00_28.50_0_1',
+        u'TEMP_F@008f7f3d4f93956f2fd24b1e01000084_e29f2ba8f58c6_51.20_35.20_0_1',
+        u'TEMP_F@0d38a4e97c5c63042b5da6da00a10088_73a8fb3908097_48.35_27.20_0_1'
+    ]
+
+#. Now when we have the temporary tag ids, we can use them to save the tags and train our namespace index::
+
+    >> client.tags_save(tids = ',' . join(tids), uid = 'guido@testns', label = 'Guido Van Rossum')
+
+    {
+        u'status': u'success',
+        u'message': u'Tags saved with uid: guido@testns, label: Guido Van Rossum',
+        u'saved_tags': [
+            {u'tid': u'00bc00ab_15e78870a332a', u'detected_tid': u'TEMP_F@0bf0294f6c43162105c9bdfa00bc00ab_15e78870a332a_47.00_28.50_0_1'},
+            {u'tid': u'01000084_e29f2ba8f58c6', u'detected_tid': u'TEMP_F@008f7f3d4f93956f2fd24b1e01000084_e29f2ba8f58c6_51.20_35.20_0_1'},
+            {u'tid': u'00a10088_73a8fb3908097', u'detected_tid': u'TEMP_F@0d38a4e97c5c63042b5da6da00a10088_73a8fb3908097_48.35_27.20_0_1'}
+        ]
+    }
+
+    >> client.faces_train('guido@testns')
+
+    {
+        u'status': u'success',
+        u'created': [{
+            u'training_set_size': 3,
+            u'last_trained': 1361651583,
+            u'uid': u'guido@testns',
+            u'training_in_progress': False}
+        ]
+    }
+
+#. We can also check that the tags were saved by using the **tags_get** method::
+
+    >> client.tags_get('guido@testns')
+
+    {
+        u'status': u'success',
+        u'photos': [
+            {u'url': u'http://farm1.static.flickr.com/67/200126290_2798330e61.jpg', ...omitted for clarity...},
+            {u'url': u'http://farm1.static.flickr.com/43/104506247_c748f20b83.jpg', ...omitted for clarity...},
+            {u'url': u'http://savasplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/guido-van-rossum.jpg', ...omitted for clarity...}
+        ],
+        u'usage': {...omitted for clarity...}
+    }

-#. **Twitter (OAuth)**::
