Crafatar

API

Free API for Minecraft player skins, faces, avatars, and capes

Overview

Crafatar is a RESTful API for retrieving Minecraft player visuals, including skins, faces, avatars, and capes. Key endpoints include /avatars/{size}/{uuid} (custom-sized avatars), /skins/{uuid} (full skin PNG), /heads/{uuid} (head shot), and /capes/{uuid} (player capes). Responses are PNG images for valid requests (JSON for errors). Ideal for integrating into Minecraft server dashboards, community forums, player profile pages, or third-party tools to display player assets without local storage.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://crafatar.com')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
