Lithium Avatar API Pulls
We have another department that would like to sync customers' community avatars with their profile page. I believe the api field is here: https://community.lithium.com/t5/Community-API/bd-p/developers-rest-api?branch=AvatarImage
Currently users have a profile page (not hosted in Lithium). They would like add the Lithium Avatar feature to their page. They would like to pull the same avatar that they are using on the community and display it on our client profile page. What is the proper API calls to pull the avatars from the community to the profile page? Can this be done if the profile page is not hosted on Lithium?
JasonMi - Yes, you can do that, but for this you'd require atleast one common parameter which could pull the corresponding avatar for you.
Workflow:
On the Lithium instance, you can create an endpoint which would consume the common parameter from your external page, as the ID and login name would not be available in the external site, so I'd suggest on using email in the API. The same call can be used by passing the user email, which I am sure be the common parameter b/w your external site and the community.
e.g. https://community.lithium.com/restapi/vc/users/email/[your_email_here]/profiles/avatar
White list the external site domain on your community instance and make a REST call on you external site to the lithium endpoint, pass the email ID, fetch the avatar.
I hope this helps.
