Are any facial recognition APIs available?

I used face.com 's facial recognition API, when it was available, to do a
project where I tagged some people in a set of photos and then it suggested
who unidentified people might be.

I want to do something similar for a digitization project, but face.com was
bought by Facebook, so no more API for me.

Does anyone here know of an available API for recognizing and tagging faces
in photos?
