Avatar API

healthy 3,131 Subscribers

Generate deterministic avatars and identicons from any seed — the same seed always renders the exact same avatar, so user IDs, usernames or emails map to stable, unique profile pictures with no storage. 30 art styles (bottts robots, pixel-art, avataaars, identicon, lorelei, notionists, fun-emoji, shapes, rings and more), returned as ready-to-use SVG markup or a base64 PNG data-URI, with options for size, corner radius, background colour and flip. Backed by DiceBear. Ideal for default user avatars, comment/forum placeholders, dashboards, game characters, test fixtures and any UI that needs an instant, reproducible profile image.

Gravatar API

Turn an email address into its Gravatar avatar and public profile. Pass an email and the service normalises it, computes the MD5 and SHA-256 hashes Gravatar uses, builds a ready-to-use avatar URL, checks whether a custom Gravatar actually exists, and fetches the public profile when present — display name, username, profile URL, location, about text, linked accounts and photos. A dedicated avatar endpoint builds just the image URL with full options: size (1-2048), a default image (identicon, monsterid, robohash, retro, mp, blank, 404, or your own URL), rating and force-default. Ideal for user-profile enrichment, comment systems, contact cards, team pages and onboarding — showing a real avatar from nothing but an email. A Gravatar lookup — distinct from deterministic avatar/identicon generation (avatar), which renders a brand-new image from a seed rather than fetching the avatar a person actually chose. No upstream key, no cache.

Placeholder API

A fast, fully-local SVG generator for mockups and UIs: placeholder images (a sized rectangle with centered text and automatic contrast), initials avatars (with a deterministic colour derived from the name, in a circle or square), and identicon-style symmetric patterns generated deterministically from any seed. Every endpoint returns the JSON envelope or, with raw=1, the raw SVG so the URL can be used directly as an image source. Pure server-side compute, no third-party upstream, so responses are instant and always available. Ideal for prototypes, dashboards, user avatars, empty states and design systems.

Photos API

Real stock photography as an API, powered by Lorem Picsum. Browse a curated catalogue of high-resolution photos with their author and dimensions, look up any photo by id, or build a ready-to-embed image URL on the fly — pick a width and height and get a random photo, pass a seed for a stable deterministic image (the same seed always returns the same photo, ideal for consistent placeholders per user or item), or target a specific photo by id, with optional grayscale and blur. No accounts, no attribution headaches: every image is a clean, hotlinkable URL. Perfect for mockups and design comps, blog and CMS placeholders, app prototypes, test fixtures and any layout that needs real imagery instead of grey boxes.

Animals API

Dogs and cats as a single friendly API. List every dog breed and its sub-breeds and pull dog photos (e.g. breed=hound or hound/afghan, up to 10 at once), browse 60+ cat breeds with rich metadata — temperament, country of origin, life span, weight and child/dog-friendliness scores — pull cat photos, and grab a random cat fact. Three reliable, key-less open sources (dog.ceo, TheCatAPI, catfact.ninja) behind one clean envelope. Perfect for pet adoption and veterinary apps, kids and education content, Discord/Telegram bots, placeholder imagery, quizzes and any product that needs a quick hit of dogs and cats.
