dicebear is an API wrapper for https://dicebear.com. Using this wrapper you can get custom avatars for your program. For an example go to examples/dicebear.py.

Other languages

If you want to use Dicebear avatars but don't use Python, you can use the dicebear Golang package or the official JS/TS package.

How to install

Run pip install -U dicebear If that doesn't work try py -m pip install -U dicebear If that still does not work, try replacing py with python or python3

Usage

Important note: Pillow is not a required dependency, it's only required when you want to be able to edit the avatar images (using DAvatar.pillow()). When using a PIL function while it's not installed it will raise dicebear.errors.PILError.

When the environment variable ENABLE_PYTHON_DICEBEAR_USAGE_STATS is set to true, an API will be pinged on most function calls to update this package's usage stats. This will be used to analyse Dicebear's usage and improve your overall experience, but may have performance costs.

import PIL.Image
import os
from dicebear import DAvatar, DStyle, DOptions, DColor, DFormat, bulk_create

# Enable anonymous usage statistics
os.environ['ENABLE_PYTHON_DICEBEAR_USAGE_STATS'] = 'true'

# Creating options
options = DOptions(
    backgroundColor=DColor("00ddd0"),
    rotate=90
)

# Making a DAvatar object
av = DAvatar(
    style=DStyle.pixel_art,
    seed="John Apple",
    options=options
)
print(av.url_svg)  # Prints the svg url

# Editing the DAvatar object
av.edit(
    extra_options=DOptions(backgroundColor=DColor("000000"))
)
# Using `extra_options` keep the `rotate` option but override the `backgroundColor` option

print(av.url_webp)  # Prints the webp url

# Editing the style specific customisations
av.customise(
    blank_options={
        "face": "variant04"
    }
)
# Using `blank_options` will delete your previous customisations for this DAvatar and generate new ones

print(av.url_png)  # Prints the png url

# Saving an avatar to your device
av.save(
    location=None,  # Passing `None` will save it in the current working directory
    file_name="dicebear_avatar",
    file_format=DFormat.svg,
    overwrite=True,
    open_after_save=False
)

# Converting the DAvatar object into a PIL.Image.Image object
av_img: PIL.Image.Image = av.pillow()

# Opening and viewing the DAvatar image
av.open(use_pil=True)  # or av.view()

# Creating multiple random avatars of the same style at once
avatars: list = bulk_create(style=DStyle.random(), amount=10)

CLI Usage

Dicebear has a CLI package that uses Python to generate avatars quickly. You can't customize each avatar, to do that you'll need to use the Python module.

To use the CLI run pip install dicebear-cli in a terminal. Documentation can be found here: https://github.com/jvherck/dicebear-cli.
