A Python wrapper for the Gravatar API.
The gravatar module has been tested with Python 2.7. The module makes
use of the Python requests
module to communicate with the Gravatar API. This can be installed easily
via pip:
pip install requestsThe gravatar module provides some dead-simple functions for interacting
with Gravatar's API.
The only thing required to start fetching data is an email address.
from gravatar import Gravatar
g = Gravatar("[email protected]") # must be the main email for the accountThere are some helper functions for fetching common profile info, but it's also possible to fetch a user's full profile and grab whatever you need.
# fetch some information from user profile
username = g.getUsername()
bio = g.getBio()
# or just get the whole profile, as a dict
profile = g.getProfile()
print profile['name']['formatted']You can fetch the avatar URL, a formatted HTML img tag, or the raw avatar image data itself. It's also possible to save the avatar locally.
avatar_url = g.getAvatarUrl()
avatar_tag = g.getAvatarTag(image_size=256) # 80px is Gravatar default
avatar_raw = g.getAvatar() # raw image data
g.saveAvatar("avatar.jpg", image_size=64) # save locallyAnyone and everyone is welcome to contribute.
