I've seen a couple of StackApps that have the actual picture for the user profile. Is that coming from the API, and if so how? If not I'm assuming they are using some screen-scrapping to get that URL.

AFAIK StackExchange network uses gravatars. Hence you can get their profile picture from their email address (check the gravatar site for details).
