Frequently Asked Questions

Is unavatar free to use?

Yes. The service is free for low-volume usage. Paid usage is metered — there are no minimums or subscriptions, you only pay for non-cached requests you actually make.

Do I need an API key?

Not for the free tier. Once you sign up for a paid plan, you get an API key that removes rate limits and unlocks extra features like custom TTL.

What happens if an avatar can't be found?

A default fallback image is returned automatically. You can customize it by passing a fallback URL as a query parameter to match your app's style.

How fast are responses?

Cached avatars are served from the edge in under 50ms worldwide. Fresh lookups depend on the upstream provider but are typically resolved in under 300ms.
