Get Twitter profile image with username or id with V1.1

Question

Is there a a predictable url to retrieve a user's profile images either by username or id?

...similar to google or facebook:

"https://graph.facebook.com/#{FACEBOOK ID}/picture"
"https://profiles.google.com/s2/photos/profile/#{GOOGLE ID}"

I found this https://dev.twitter.com/docs/user-profile-images-and-banners but it looks like I'll have to do a whole separate request just to get the profile image.

Answer 1

A predictable URL similar to Facebook or Google to retrieve a user's profile images by username is as follows:

"https://twitter.com/[screen_name]/profile_image?size=original"

For example

"https://twitter.com/sqlpowershell/profile_image?size=original"

Other sizes include

• mini - 24x24 px
• normal - 48x48
• bigger - 73x73

Totally relieved not to have to use the API!
