Avatars API
A self-hosted avatars API using some of the DiceBear CC0 styles
You can take a look at my own self-hosted version here: https://avatars.jusemon.com
The following endpoints are available:
- https://avatars.jusemon.com/list
- https://avatars.jusemon.com/random
- https://avatars.jusemon.com/:seed
The size and style of the image can be changed with the following query params:
size
: any number between16
and512
style
: see the list endpoint, the valid values are defined by the propertykey
Example:
https://avatars.jusemon.com/jusemon?size=256&style=open-peeps where jusemon is the :seed
