What html flairs are available for Ask Ubuntu and Stack Exchange users in general?

Question

From time to time you may see a user flair on a user profile or embedd elsewhere. For instance here's mine:

I learned about this flair thingy long time ago from fellow users (specifically, it was @Fabby who introduced this to me), but today this got me thinking: are there any other types of flairs like this that show different types of data ? Perhaps "latest answer" or "Most voted questions of the user".

P.S: Excuse the use of "thingy", the "$USER" not well versed in HTML terminology.

Answer 1

Just to clear things up, this is called "User Flair", and exists on the StackExchange network data for a user under the 'flair' tab, or accessible by specific URLs such as the site-specific one:

https://askubuntu.com/users/flair/10616.png

... which only shows the reputation on that specific site, or the StackExchange-wide one:

https://stackexchange.com/users/flair/297701.png

(Both of these are mine, by the way)

User Flair such as that is not customizeable beyond the theme in use according to all the Meta.SE threads I checked for this.

Known themes to exist are (appended by ?theme= to the PNG URL):

• None (the default)
• dark - makes a dark theme
• clean - can't tell the difference from default but it works
• hotdog - makes a lot of red.

I don't think you can customize this to have anything such as "latest answer" or "most voted questions" - at least, there isn't any such 'flair' that I have found for this. I went hunting for such things and didn't find them. If they exist, they aren't documented, though I highly doubt there's any type of 'custom' embed-able code that gets you the other stats.

(There may have been at one point, that was done via a third party service, but not anymore.)

And just to confirm I made inquiries via certain discreet channels, and got a "Yeah there's nothing other than user rep you can put there" as the reply.

Answer 2

I host a customisable flair on my website. I wrote the code myself, and it is under the MIT licence. It's more involved than pasting an image into a webpage, but it is a higher quality end product, which is more customisable. It uses the API v 2.2 to get the data. You can change it however you want - move the parts around, chose your own font, change the background colour etc.

To get different information you would have to change the filter value to select the desired information - if people wanted this I'm sure I could add something to implement it!

You can get it here, with usage instructions, or have a look at a live example on my website here, and see where I use it here (scroll down a little).

My pronouns are He / Him
