Base Request
Users may optionally enter a variety of profile information to associate with their Gravatar account. This information is openly-accessible using a similar process to requesting images .
A simple profile link looks like this:
https://www.gravatar.com/HASH
where HASH is the email hash of a user. This request will automatically redirect to their username-based URL, so for example, you might get this:
https://www.gravatar.com/205e460b479e2e5b48aec07710c08d50 --> https://en.gravatar.com/beau
An important point to note is that profile requests will only resolve for the hash of the primary address on an account. Users may have multiple addresses on a single account, so while a Gravatar image request may return a result, a profile request for the same hash may not.
hCard
Profile pages are fully marked up using hCard , a microformat for programmatically embedding information about people, companies, organizations, and places in HTML and other markup languages. The screenshot below describes some of the main markup involved on a profile page
Email address marked up with class=email (only available via JS/client-side parsing due to spam-protection measures)
IM accounts marked up using class=url (some values only available via JS/client-side parsing due to spam-protection measures)
Phone numbers marked up with class=tel (using type/value subproperties)
Verified accounts marked up with class=url and rel=me
Name marked up with class=fn
Personal Links are marked up with class=url
Image (main Gravatar) is marked up using class=photo
