## How to call it through Zero

```

Example prompt: What's the avatar image URL for vitalik.eth? I want to display their ENS profile picture.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to display a profile picture or avatar image for an ENS name or Ethereum address — for example, in a Web3 social app, wallet UI, or identity card. Prefer this over general ENS resolution when you specifically need only the avatar URL rather than full ENS records.

## Known failure modes

- ENS name not found or not registered — returns 404 or null
- No avatar record set for the ENS name — returns empty or null URL
- Invalid ENS name format — returns 400 bad request
- Ethereum address has no associated ENS primary name with avatar — returns null
- IPFS or off-chain avatar resolution failure — returns error or broken URL

## How this service works

Get avatar URL for ENS name or address

## Output

A URL pointing to the avatar image set in the ENS records for the given name or address — typically an IPFS link, HTTP URL, or NFT URI resolved to a usable image URL.

## Example request

```json
{
 "name": "vitalik.eth"
}
```
