About Caching

MCHeads caches skins on its servers for 36 hours
Images are also cached client side via cache headers for 36 hours.

Changed skins do not take effect on MCHeads immediately.
MCHeads deletes expired server side cache every 5 minutes.

About Usernames

We strongly advise you to use UUIDs instead of usernames! UUIDs never change while usernames do.
Looking up players by username has officially been deprecated by Mojang ever since UUIDs were introduced.

Malformed usernames are rejected.

About UUIDs

UUIDs may be any valid Mojang UUID in the blank or dashed format.
Malformed UUIDs are rejected, and all features on MCHeads support UUIDs

CORS

MCHeads supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, so you can make AJAX request from other sites!

HTTP/2

MCHeads supports HTTP/2, meaning a client can re-use a signle underlying TCP connection to download content, making the whole process up to 50% faster!
If you are using one of the JSON endpoints of MCHeads, using HTTP/2 could heavily increase performance in your app.
