There is my proposal for unavatar.io

{
      "name" : "unavatar.io",
      "uri_check" : "https://unavatar.io/{account}?fallback=false&json=true",
      "uri_pretty" : "https://unavatar.io/{account}",
      "e_code" : 200,
      "e_string" : "url",
      "m_string" : "",
      "m_code" : 404,
      "known" : ["webbreacher", "kikobeats"],
      "cat" : "images"
}

In my browser, I'm getting 200 response codes for both cases (missing and found). Can you check on that?

[grabowskiadrian]

hmm.. my bad, I was getting 404 just yesterday. Strange situation. I hope you received the tiktok image for the incorrect user.

This is an bug in the unavatar. In this provider code: https://github.com/microlinkhq/unavatar/blob/master/src/providers/tiktok.js

The code sends a request to tiktok and looks for $('meta[property="og:image"]').attr('content').

This meta tag is always in the response even if the user is not found.

---

At this point it is probably not possible to detect an unfound user. I don't think it's wise to check if there is a tiktok in the reply... for 404.

How about if we used the URL https://unavatar.io/{account}?fallback=http://nonefound.example.com&json=true then we set the m_string to http://nonefound.example.com and the e_string to https:// or https://images.weserv.nl.

This seems to work. both codes would be 200. I've tested in curl on cli and in browser.

[grabowskiadrian]

Check this case. User not exist and unavatar returns tiktok image.

username: invalid_user_im_sure

https://unavatar.io/invalid_user_im_sure?fallback=http://nonefound.example.com&json=true

Response:
{
"url": "https://images.weserv.nl/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flf16-tiktok-web.ttwstatic.com%2Fobj%2Ftiktok-web-common-sg%2Fmtact%2Fstatic%2Fimages%2Fshare_img.png&default=https%3A%2F%2Flf16-tiktok-web.ttwstatic.com%2Fobj%2Ftiktok-web-common-sg%2Fmtact%2Fstatic%2Fimages%2Fshare_img.png&l=9&af=&il=&n=-1&w=400&ttl=365d"
}

but @invalid_user_im_sure not exist on tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@invalid_user_im_sure

[WebBreacher]

OK. I definitely see your point. Since this endpoint is unreliable, let's not add it to the project. Agreed?

[grabowskiadrian]

I created issue on Unavatar repository about this bug: https://github.com/microlinkhq/unavatar/issues/293

Maybe when the problem is solved we will try to do it again

[WebBreacher]

ok. let's close this issue and maybe cross reference the issue you made over there here so that once it is fixed, we can revisit adding it to WMN?

[grabowskiadrian]

Sure.
