Gravatar
✓ from libgravatar import Gravatar
Main class for Gravatar API access.

Create a Gravatar instance with an email and retrieve the avatar image URL. Note: use_ssl defaults to True since v1.0.0.

from libgravatar import Gravatar g = Gravatar('user@example.com') print(g.get_image()) # URL of avatar
Debug
Known issues
breakingIn version 1.0.0, the default for use_ssl changed from False to True. All URLs now use HTTPS by default. If your code relied on HTTP, update accordingly.
fix
Explicitly set use_ssl=False if you need HTTP: Gravatar(email, use_ssl=False)
affects: <1.0.0
deprecatedPython 3.6 support was removed in version 1.0.4. If you are on Python 3.6, you must stay on an older version or upgrade Python.
fix
Upgrade to Python 3.7+ or pin libgravatar to 1.0.3.
affects: >=1.0.4
gotchaThe get_image() method returns a URL string, not the image binary. To download the image, you need an HTTP request.
fix
Use requests.get(g.get_image()) to get the actual image data.
affects: all
Errors
Common errors & fixes
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'libgravatar'
Library not installed or installed under a different name (e.g., gravatar).
fix
Run: pip install libgravatar
AttributeError: 'Gravatar' object has no attribute 'get_image'
The method may have been renamed or not exist in older versions. The correct method is get_image().
fix
Use g.get_image() (no underscore separation).
libgravatar.GravatarError: invalid email address
The email provided fails basic validation (e.g., missing @).
fix
Check the email string for typos. Ensure it contains '@' and a valid domain.
