How to get mail profile picture

To get a person's profile picture from their email address, you can use the following methods:

Method 1: Using the Email Provider's API

  1. Check if the email provider (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo) has an API that allows you to retrieve a user's profile picture. For example, Gmail has a People API that allows you to retrieve a user's profile picture.
  2. If the API is available, you'll need to authenticate with the API using OAuth 2.0 or another authentication method.
  3. Once authenticated, you can use the API to retrieve the user's profile picture.

Method 2: Using a Third-Party Service

  1. There are several third-party services that allow you to retrieve a person's profile picture from their email address. For example, Email Hunter and Hunter offer APIs that allow you to retrieve a person's profile picture.
  2. You'll need to sign up for an account with the third-party service and obtain an API key.
  3. Use the API key to make a request to the service's API, passing in the email address as a parameter.
  4. The service will return the user's profile picture.

Method 3: Using a Web Scraping Library

  1. If the above methods are not available, you can use a web scraping library (e.g., BeautifulSoup in Python) to scrape the profile picture from the user's email provider's website.
  2. This method is more complex and may require more programming knowledge.
  3. You'll need to inspect the HTML of the email provider's website to find the URL of the profile picture.
  4. Use the web scraping library to send a request to the URL and retrieve the profile picture.
