You can append .png
to the URL for the User's profile to get redirected to their avatar. You can add the query param size
to specify a size smaller than the default of 460px wide (i.e. it won't allow larger than 460).

I'm trying to get the GitHub user picture (avatar) from users of GitHub.
I've found these API:
https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/<username>
https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/<userid>
But I can't find a way to get the avatar from the user email or the user display name. I can't find documentation about that.
Is there some similar URL API to get what I'm looking for?

Use the /users/:user endpoint. Should be under avatar_url
in the returned json.
For example, my avatar_url can be found by hitting this url.
There is another way I can think of that is kind of roundabout. Since GitHub uses Gravatar, if you know the email associated with the account, do an md5 hash of the lowercase, stripped email address and construct a url like http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/[md5_here].
This is an old post but nobody has proposed Github Search Users API with scope field :
in:email
: https://api.github.com/search/users?q=bmartel+in%3Aemailin:username
: https://api.github.com/search/users?q=Bertrand+Martel+in%3AusernameOr using new Graphql API v4 :
{
search(type: USER, query: "in:email bmartel", first: 1) {
userCount
edges {
node {
... on User {
avatarUrl
}
}
}
}
}
Using GraphQL API v4, this will work too
Query (for username)-
{
user(login: "username") {
avatarUrl
}
}
Response -
{
"data": {
"user": {
"avatarUrl": "https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/..."
}
}
}
GitHub avatar can be accessed through https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/YOUR_USER_ID
Optionally, you can modify the size at the end like so https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/YOUR_USER_ID?s=460
