Thank you for this!
FYI, the google one no longer works.
Twitter as well:
"The Twitter REST API v1 is no longer active. Please migrate to API v1.1. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/overview."
Try: http://twitter.com/api/users/profile_image?screen_name=USERNAME
Example: https://twitter.com/api/users/profile_image?screen_name=localpets4you
But redirects to: https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1218433246/p4y-twitter-icon_normal.jpg
Google, no API needed:
$data = file_get_contents('http://picasaweb.google.com/data/entry/api/user/108000104043020660261?alt=json');
$d = json_decode($data);
$avatar = $d->{'entry'}->{'gphoto$thumbnail'}->{'$t'};
// Outputs example: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2N6fRg5OFbM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAADE/2-RmpExH6iU/s64-c/photo.jpg
CHANGE: the 64 in "s64" for the size
Sorry, for some reason I thought this was PHP, lol. Silly me.
@neotropic2023 thanks for the Google update!
@neotropic2023 - Not sure how you figured out that bit but it's some good code!
@neotropic2023 - is there anyway you know of to get a business avatar using picasaweb? The code only seems to pull user profile pictures, not businesses as well.
For twitter you can use:
https://twitter.com/[screen_name]/profile_image?size=original
All Twitter solutions posted here don't work anymore.
You have to use the new authenticated API:
dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/users/show
gibatronic, mvujica tip works for me: https://twitter.com/[screen_name]/profile_image?size=original
Facebook's 'large' type is kinda small (200x200). You can use another trick!
https://graph.facebook.com/{user.id}/picture?width=400&height=400
It will cut image to some closer dimension (for 400px - 480px, for 1000px - 689px and so on).
And for github's images you can add param s.
{avatar_url}&s=48
But it doens't make your image too big. I think it's depends on source image size
I wish this info will be helpful!
Have fun
There's an API for getting the Google profile pic and name from an email address without having to sign in -
it's at http://www.avatarapi.com/ - The docs have code in C#, PHP and vanilla HTTP
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
@SociallyDev
Looks good, but could you enable CORS?
The responses don't seem to have the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header:

This API url didn't work for me. Its showing "Sorry, this page doesn't exist."
https://twitter.com/Rashid_Jorvee/profile_image?size=bigger
@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.

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.
What form would the userid argument take for a google account that's not gmail? The google seems to only work with gmail user IDs. For example, with [email protected], I can pass "joesmith" as the userid argument and it works.
