### Purpose of the Get Photo API

Use this API to get a for a user's photo.

_NOTE:_ Always pass in the `returnSizes` parameter for sizes you plan on using. It's the only way to guarantee that a URL for that size will be present in the response. See [Photo Generation](http://theopenphotoproject.org/documentation/faq/PhotoGeneration) for details.
