shouldn’t the user initials return a url ?

The user wants to know if the user initials should return a URL. They tried a solution from Stack Overflow but it didn't work. They mention a platform and ask how to get an image if they are not using an SDK, only a REST API. Another user suggests checking a link for implementing the view of the image. The link provided returns an image. The user mentions getting a weird string in response. Unfortunately, there is no solution provided in the thread.
