AvyGet Avatar Getter

This package attempts to get an avatar from an email address by checking the PicasaWeb and Gravatar APIs.

Requirements

PHP 5.5 and later.

Composer

Update your composer.json

{
  "require": {
    "12-stars-media/avy-get": "0.2.*"
  }
}

Followed by composer install.

Getting Started

To Use PicasaWeb API

Create app and API key to use Google+ API.

1. Set up a project on the Google Developer Console
2. Enable Google+ API
3. Create a Public API Access key

Set environment variables so that AvyGet can authenticate you with Google's API.

• API_GOOGLE_APP_NAME (the name of your project or app)
• API_GOOGLE_API_KEY (your API key created in step 3 above)

Basic Usage

Instantiate a new instance for each email you need a profile image for:

$avyGet = new AvyGet(
  'avyget@example.com', // Email address to find image for
  120                   // Desired image size in pixels (optional)
);

$avatar = $avyGet->url(); // Returns url for image

Documentation

Instantiate AvyGet

new AvyGet( string $email [, int $size = 200 ] [, array $services = [] ] );

Only the email is required, but you can request an avatar in a specific size and also modify what services are used to find avatars.

Avatar Source Services

Default services and order of preference is:

protected $services = [
    'AvyGet\Services\Google',
    'AvyGet\Services\Gravatar',
];

More services can be created by extending AvyGet\Services\ProfilePhotoAbstract and implementing the AvyGet\Services\ImageUrlInterface.

Methods

resize( int $size )

Returns modified AvyGet instance (i.e. it is chainable).

$avyGet->resize(150)->url();

url()

Returns the url instantiated with AvyGet or null if no avatar could be found for the provided email.

$avyGet->url();

urlArray( array $sizes )

Returns an indexed or associative array relative to what to provide it- replaces your size values with the appropriate URLs.

$avyGet->urlArray([
  32,
  128,
  512
]);

/**
 * [
 *   'http://www.example.com/image?size=32',
 *   'http://www.example.com/image?size=128',
 *   'http://www.example.com/image?size=512',
 * ]
 */

$avyGet->urlArray([
  'small'  => 32,
  'medium' => 128,
  'large'  => 512,
]);

/**
 * [
 *   'small'  => 'http://www.example.com/image?size=32',
 *   'medium' => 'http://www.example.com/image?size=128',
 *   'large'  => 'http://www.example.com/image?size=512',
 * ]
