How to Display Node Avatars?

Hi,

how can I display in frontend the Avatar of a Category/Board if someone set one in the admin backend? Is there a widget/component to show that or can I get the URL by an API Call?

Greetings

Correct. Node avatar was added as part of the Group Hubs feature, but should work on any node.

As you say, it may not be in the docs yet, but looking at internal builds I believe that if you see it in admin, it's available to use via its component:

<component id="nodes.widget.avatar"/>

steffenschoene,
You can use below API to get the image attached to category properties.
<a href="http://community.url.com/community-name/restapi/vc/categories/id/category_id/avatar" target="_blank">http://community.url.com/community-name/restapi/vc/categories/id/category_id/avatar</a>

Where avatar at the end is the value of text-key to the node.

  Hi Parshant ,
  thanks for the quick response. I already tried this path but I get this error. Maybe I did something wrong? I already double checked the avatar on that node.
  REST Error: path="https://community.url.com/community-name/restapi/vc/categories/id/Programm-Bereiche/avatar?restapi.response_style=view" status="error" code="501" message="Unknown path element at node 'category'."

    I would also be very interested in a solution for this. Why is there an option in the admin backend to add such an image if we are not able to show it anywhere?
    As mentioned by steffenschoene , the approach with the API V1 call does not work.
    There is also no 'avatar' mentioned in docs (neither for categories nor boards or nodes):
