Gravatar API

healthy 4,061 Subscribers

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.

Initials API — oanor API marketplace

Initials API

Extract initials and avatar monograms from a name or phrase. The initials endpoint returns the first letter of every significant word — automatically skipping lower-case nobiliary and linking particles (van, von, de, della, la, der, of, the…) so "Ludwig van Beethoven" gives LB and "Charles de Gaulle" gives CG — with options for a separator between letters, a dotted form (J.D.), upper-case or original case, and a maximum number of initials. The monogram endpoint returns the short one-, two- or three-letter badge initials used for UI avatars and chips, taking the first and last significant words ("John Michael Doe" → JD) and falling back to the leading letters of a single name. Everything is multibyte-safe, so accented and non-Latin letters (José María → JMA) work correctly. Ideal for default avatars, contact chips, initials badges, monogram graphics, document headers and mail-merge. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This produces the initials text; to render them as an avatar image use an avatar API.

 Avatar API — oanor API marketplace

Avatar API

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.

 Placeholder API — oanor API marketplace

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.

 MIME Encoding API — oanor API marketplace

MIME Encoding API

The email and MIME text encodings that general base64/hex toolkits leave out. The quoted-printable endpoint encodes and decodes Quoted-Printable (RFC 2045) — the Content-Transfer-Encoding that keeps mostly-ASCII text readable while escaping everything else as =XX hex, with the soft line-wrapping at 76 columns and trailing-whitespace handling the spec requires. The encoded-word endpoint encodes and decodes RFC 2047 encoded-words — the =?UTF-8?Q?…?= and =?UTF-8?B?…?= form used to carry non-ASCII text in email Subject, From, To and other headers — in either the Q (quoted-printable-style) or B (base64) variant, and decodes any mix of them back to plain text. Everything is UTF-8 and computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for building and parsing email (SMTP/IMAP), .eml and MIME tooling, newsletter and transactional-mail systems, and migrating legacy mail data. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. These are the MIME-specific encodings; for base64, base32, hex, URL and HTML entity encoding use a general encoding API.
