@RashidJorvee currently

https://unavatar.now.sh/ works for what you want

Thank you @jcsrb, but I don't think this host is secure and will work always.

I created a completely free API service, Dev Identify, it fetches data from sites like Google, G+ and Gravatar just by giving the email of the person! It provides name, location and profile picture of the person. https://devidentify.com

Looks like domain expired !

Facebook one not supported anymore, requires a token: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v9.0/user/picture

Can not get avatar of twitter with this code. Please help

You're all welcome: https://www.avatarapi.com/

google is not working!

@SociallyDev I assume your service has been offline for many years. Did you open source the code? I'd love to take a look.
