The getAvatars utility is designed to retrieve multiple avatars from an onchain identity provider for an array of ENS names or Basenames in a single batch request. Consider the utility instead of the hook when you use it with Next.js or any Node.js backend.

​
Usage

Get avatars for multiple ENS names: 
import { getAvatars } from '@coinbase/onchainkit/identity';

const ensNames = ['vitalik.eth', 'zizzamia.eth'];
const avatars = await getAvatars({ ensNames });
Get avatars for multiple Basenames: 
import { getAvatars } from '@coinbase/onchainkit/identity';
import { base } from 'viem/chains';

const ensNames = ['zizzamia.base.eth', 'coinbase.base.eth'];
const avatars = await getAvatars({ ensNames, chain: base });
Get avatars for a mix of ENS names and Basenames: 
import { getAvatars } from '@coinbase/onchainkit/identity';
import { base } from 'viem/chains';

const ensNames = ['vitalik.eth', 'zizzamia.base.eth'];
const avatars = await getAvatars({ ensNames, chain: base });

Returns

Promise<GetAvatarReturnType[]>

type GetAvatarReturnType = string | null;

​
Parameters

  /** Array of ENS names to resolve avatars for */

  /** Optional chain for domain resolution */
  chain?: Chain;
};

type Chain = {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  // ... other chain properties
};
