# Identicons

```http
GET https://api.pichax.dev/v1/generate/identicon
```

The **Generate Identicon** endpoint allows you to dynamically create identicon images based on user-provided parameters. This is useful for user profile placeholders, unique identifiers, and consistent visuals across applications.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** To generate identicons, you must include an identifier (`id`), expiration (`expiry`) a valid API key (`key`), a signature (`signature`) and a publicly accessible source image URL (`src`) and  (`name`) - the name is used to generate the specific identicon.

Refer to [Authentication](https://chakata.gitbook.io/pichax/authentication) for more details.
