Headhunter

giving Twitter avatars a permanent URL

by @awendt

If you've built an app that caches a Twitter user's avatar,
and that user changes their avatar […], the link breaks, thus breaking your app.

— Remy Sharp, creator of Twivatar

Usage

<img src="http://headhunter.heroku.com/[twitter_username]" />

This project is a Sinatra port of Twivatar and is running on Heroku.
If this site breaks, you can deploy your own copy there in no time.

Statistics

149 hits on the Twitter API remaining for the next 57 minutes before the counter is reset to 150.

Green indicates that the remaining API hits are roughly enough to get us through the next hour.
