I know this post is a bit old, but only just now found it - you might try the FullContact Person API (full disclosure - I'm biased, I work for them):

On the one hand, it will pull the associated social media profiles when you query based on email so that you can find and pull the associated profile...but on the other hand, you can also save some time & use it to pull the profile images directly.

The response schema includes:

    "photos":

      "typeId": [photo type],
      "typeName": [photo type name],
      "url": [photo url],
      "isPrimary": [boolean]
    }
  ]
