How to get a local user avatar

I’ve been building a Nextcloud Talk native gnome client and, while how to get a federated user or room avatar is well documented in the Spreed API documentation, how to get local avatar is not.

So after searching an hour exploring the nextcloud source code, I finally found it. So, behold, the endpoint to get a local user avatar:

index.php/avatar/{username}/56

It’s simple and clear. 3 lines mentioning it in the official doc would have been nice.
