This API acts as an intermediary between the client and the official Mojang skins server. For greater convenience, the API caches incoming requests for 3 hours. Unlike the official Mojang skins server, this API requires only one request to obtain a skin image by nickname.
The rate limit for all endpoints is 100 requests per minute.
Get account info by nickname/UUID.
