Nearly every Viddler user account have an avatar, or icon, associated to it. Some developers may want to use these avatars in their applications. To retrieve the URLs for these avatars can some times be a pain.

vAvatar is an easy way to include Viddler avatars in your application. All you have to do is make the source of your image be http://lab.viddler.com/services/avatar/USERNAME/. For instance, if you wanted to include sandieman’s avatar, you’d do the following:

<img src="http://lab.viddler.com/services/avatar/sandieman/" />

Here is the resulting image using vAvatar:
Sandieman's Avatar on Viddler

vAvatar is already set up to cache your requests, but we kindly ask that you cache these avatars, and their locations if possible, if your application is due to have high traffic.
