Minotar - The Miner's Avatar

Hey! I'd like to show you guys something I made about a year ago that has gotten an average of 4 billion requests a month. It's called Minotar! And it's basically an api endpoint for your skin in Minecraft. It's usage is simple and should fit most needs.

Basic

Using our API is simple. For basic usage provide a username like so:
HTML5: <img src="http://minotar.net/avatar/clone1018">
Size

Setting a size is even easier. We use pixels and we only need the width. Just add it to the end.

Extension

Since some services require an extension we've added simple support for it. Just add .png to the end.

You can find more info and some plugins here.

Please submit all requests there ^

Any chance we can get the files to host our selves?

What for?

So we can host the files ourselves? I don't feel comfortable being dependent on files hosted on other people's web servers.

I think that kinda defeats the purpose lol...

so basically this hovers above the players head near their name? this would be interesting if when you chatted this would show next to the name

Rewrote it from scratch, new design, should be able to handle 5000 requests per second, at minimum.

Cool thing!

Only one advice: Introduce a maximum size, or the some evil person could overload your server (maybe 1000)

We had 1000 as the limit but I forgot to include it in the rewrite , it's in there now.

Pretty awesome

It would be nice, when you can make an API for the whole skin.

It's very nice!

Really nice. Thanks!

Yes, very convenient.

Using it in http://sh.craftia.org/stats , I like it very much

I stole your idea

I edited the wordpress widget Minestatus to utilize Minotar, I'll post the SRC

this is super awesome!!!

Looks nice, I think I might replace user profile pics with this on mcserverstatus.com

any word on the xenforo version? keep up the good work!

Using this for the Buycraft plugin now, for an example:

http://store.buycraft.net/example

(Its the "recent donations" part on the right.

Good idea, really simple and saved me an hour creating it my self.

Can we integrate this into SpaceBukkit? This is an awesome tool and we would love to include it instead of writing one ourselves that does the exact same thing!

its an open and free api, your aloud too.

That's good news thanks for your statement, I wasn't exactly sure

no probem, the api is simple and easy to use, nothing to it. Btw im not the developer, just saying.

I know, but you have that shiny violet badge on your profile, it's confidence inducing

Haha, yea i suppose it is Check out my plugin, it actually uses this api

I'm building a website with this right now, it works awesomely, but it doesn't seem to work for myself. All I get is a black square. http://minotar.net/avatar/efstajas/
Whoot?

IPB Hook not working on IPB 3?

Any way for display member list with MineQuery + Minotar, same as here: http://mcserverlist.net/servers/4edad38f63a9c92b15000001 ?

Yeah the IPB hook doesn't work.

Yes sorry, the IP.Board plugin was never finished.
