Building Twitter profile image url with Twitter user id

Question

Is there any way of building a profile image url with user id or screen name? I store user ids in database but i don't want to store profile image url.

edit:
I don't want to make a api call too. I want to put user_id inside a url like

<img src="https://twitter.com/users/profile_pic?user_id=123"> Is there a url to do this?

Answer 1

With API 1.1 you can achieve this using these URLs:

• https://twitter.com/[screen_name]/profile_image?size=mini
• https://twitter.com/[screen_name]/profile_image?size=normal
• https://twitter.com/[screen_name]/profile_image?size=bigger
• https://twitter.com/[screen_name]/profile_image?size=original

Official twitter documentation Profile Images and Banners

Example

https://twitter.com/TwitterEng/profile_image?size=original

will redirect to
