Paragon API

An API for finding a picture of someone, based on their email and name.

If you give it emails (?emails=gabe@example.com,gabe@other.com), it finds Gravatars for those emails. If you give it a name (?name=Gabe+B-W), it will include up to 3 image URLs found by Google image searching for that name. You can include both the emails and name parameters.

Demo

$ curl 'http://paragon-api.herokuapp.com/?emails=gabe@thoughtbot.com,gabe@other_email.com&name=Gabe%20Berke-Williams' | \
  python -m json.tool
