Stellar Identicon Generator (Python)

Tool to generate identicons for Stellar wallets - unique icons, generated based on the wallet public key.

Here's a set of identicons generated for random Stellar accounts:

See also the JS version of the same generator here: https://github.com/Lobstrco/stellar-identicon-js

With the default settings, both will produce the same identicon image for any Stellar account address.

Usage

If you would like to use this package directly, this is how you do it:

>>> from stellar_identicon import StellarIdenticonGenerator
>>> public_key = 'GBIDGDSVQXAHGZNOETS7ADUMWCDSQJU4R53EZRK6ONP3BA42UJL5PAHR'
>>> generator = StellarIdenticonGenerator()
>>> raw_icon = generator.generate(public_key)

Web API

You can also use a web service provided by LOBSTR to integrate identicons inside your app: https://id.lobstr.co

Let's say your Stellar address is: GBIDGDSVQXAHGZNOETS7ADUMWCDSQJU4R53EZRK6ONP3BA42UJL5PAHR

This is how you can get the identicon: https://id.lobstr.co/GBIDGDSVQXAHGZNOETS7ADUMWCDSQJU4R53EZRK6ONP3BA42UJL5PAHR.png

This web service (id.lobstr.co) uses stellar-identicon-py and saves the resulting identicons using Cloudfront. So each identicon is generated only once, then saved and served fast through AWS Cloudfront CDN for fast delivery and high availability.

Identicons are served as 210x210 square images in PNG format, <1KB in size, which should work for most usecases.
