# getAvatars

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:

<CodeGroup>
  ```tsx code
  import { getAvatars } from '@coinbase/onchainkit/identity';

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

  ```ts return value
  [
    'https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmSP4nq9fnN9dAiCj42ug9Wa79rqmQerZXZch82VqpiH7U/image.gif',
    'https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmQ9RT2SrZ6TWUjrQxG4bNnhb3nDqBE5Ld1j9GYvk3kTjf'
  ]
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Get avatars for multiple Basenames:

<CodeGroup>
  ```tsx code
  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 });
  ```

  ```ts return value
  [
    'https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmQ9RT2SrZ6TWUjrQxG4bNnhb3nDqBE5Ld1j9GYvk3kTjf',
    'https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXHFnSXcN7CSuVcyF3vyPgPcPvLQyLpKYBaNpx3x3bPAZ'
  ]
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Get avatars for a mix of ENS names and Basenames:

<CodeGroup>
  ```tsx code
  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 });
  ```

  ```ts return value
  [
    'https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmSP4nq9fnN9dAiCj42ug9Wa79rqmQerZXZch82VqpiH7U/image.gif',
    'https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmQ9RT2SrZ6TWUjrQxG4bNnhb3nDqBE5Ld1j9GYvk3kTjf'
  ]
  ```
</CodeGroup>
