Upload a base64-encoded face image to a face-type blocklist or allowlist. Didit extracts the biometric data, validates a face is detected, inserts the embedding into the matching database, and creates a list entry. Only available for lists with entry_type: face and list_type: blocklist or list_type: allowlist.
If you’re blocklisting or allowlisting a face from an existing session, use Create entry with reference_session_id instead — the backend links the entry back to the session.

The image must contain a clearly visible face. If no face is detected, a 400 error is returned.
