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.
