Can we get a way to easily obtain a users profile picture?

Basically what the title says. It would be great if we could use the API or something similar to obtain a users profile picture. Previously I would use https://www.speedrun.com/themes/user/<USERNAME>/image.png but this no longer works :/

The only way at the moment I can think of is to grab the URL by webscraping a users profile, but thats against the sites terms of use (why??)

@Oreo321 I'm not really sure what are you talking about, like seriously. I'm thinking about it as double standards, but if it's just me being a stupid ignorant right now, please feel free to expose it.

I mean, your response wasn't related at all to what Mango posted.

Thanks for the helpful suggestion. We just added user assets to the API in a way similar to how game assets work - see the "assets" field on a user API call, ex: https://www.speedrun.com/api/v1/users/zx7gd1yx
