🐻Dicebear Python API Wrapper
This is an API wrapper for Dicebear written in Python so Python users can also easily make use of this amazing API! The API can generate more than 1 sexdecillion (that's 17 zero's!) unique avatars!
Always make sure to update to the latest version to avoid experiencing unresolved bugs!
Introduction
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.
