That image is this page calling the endpoint on itself.
How it works
Take the email address, lowercase it, trim it, and take the md5 of the result. Put that hash and the size you want into the URL. That is the whole interface.
The idea is that nobody should have to upload the same headshot to yet another site. Hand over an email address and the picture comes with it. For an actor that picture should be the signature headshot, the same one on the website and on every social profile, because using a different photo in each place is the opposite of branding.
Request an avatar
Drop it straight into an img tag.
<img src="https://ws.webforactors.com/avatar/46ac03ba7b3e01c409ca7daabc9a21a6/680x680">Build the hash
In PHP, three lines.
$email = "info@webforactors.com";
$hash = md5( strtolower( trim( $email ) ) );
echo $hash; // 46ac03ba7b3e01c409ca7daabc9a21a6Available sizes
Anything else is rejected, so pick one of these five.
