Access User Avatars Without Hash

[chimpdev]

Currently, Discord provides a way to access user avatars using the following URL structure:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/<user_id>/<hash>.<ext>

While this method works, it requires obtaining the avatar hash beforehand, adding an extra step when all that is needed is the most up-to-date avatar for a user.

Proposed Solution

Introduce an alternative URL format that allows retrieving the latest avatar without requiring the hash:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/<user_id>.<ext>

This endpoint would automatically serve the most recent avatar for the specified user ID, streamlining the process for developers.

Benefits

• Simplifies Development: Eliminates the need to fetch and store avatar hashes.
• Consistent with Existing CDN Structure: Aligns with Discord’s current approach to asset URLs.
• Enhances Usability: Makes it easier to work with user profile images in various applications.

Would love to hear feedback.
