I have created a contact in my CRM with email: [dariusz@microsoft.com](mailto:dariusz@microsoft.com) It has been automatically enriched with avatar of Microsoft company, right after creation. ![dmydlarz_0-1703142636842.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/6/e6eafbd01e092dcf9b3ca7ed5a20744811111a85.png) Although if I look into API, this specific object doesn’t have avatar path defined at all. ```lia-code-sample GET /crm/v3/objects/contacts?properties=firstname,lastname,email,company,hs_avatar_filemanager_key Host: api.hubapi.com ``` ```lia-code-sample { "id": "1551", "properties": { "company": null, "createdate": "2023-12-21T07:08:32.644Z", "email": "dariusz@microsoft.com", "firstname": "Dariusz", "hs_avatar_filemanager_key": null, "hs_object_id": "1551", "hubspot_owner_id": "1243326704", "lastmodifieddate": "2023-12-21T07:08:36.200Z", "lastname": "Doe" }, "createdAt": "2023-12-21T07:08:32.644Z", "updatedAt": "2023-12-21T07:08:36.200Z", "archived": false } ``` Is that avatar available at all via API? Or only avatars that has been intentionally uploaded for a given contact? ---

Hey, @dmydlarz 👋 You are not missing an option to handle this programmatically. This is one of those features that isn’t covered specifically with documentation of its own. I found this knowledge base article that explains this behaviour, but doesn’t offer a way to handle this via an endpoint — [Change or remove a record’s image](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/contacts/how-do-i-change-the-photo-of-my-contact-in-their-contact-record? __hstc=45788219.14c86b6500f075ee07bf15e54f7a5eed.1626970662089.1626970662089.1626970662089.1&__ hssc=45788219.1.1626970662090&__hsfp=421671805&_ga=2.256728715.1090091739.1626970660-23312829.1626970660). I hope this helps get you moving forward. — Jaycee ---

Just to clarify. When I upload my own image for the contact it’s being served back by the API in “hs\_avatar\_filemanager\_key” field. I assume it’s expected behavior, that my own image is being returned, but one generated by Hubspot is not. Is my reasoning correct? ---
