I am trying to find some rails gem or any API delivering some random (non figurative) picture for avatar users, as the one that SO uses.
I tried gravatar but when I create some random hash and that I call the api via http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/#{hash}, I always get the same default image (independently of the hash)
So perhaps I misunderstood the purpose of gravatar, so is there any API or rails gem offering this service ?
Just add ?d=identicon to your query.

I already developed a big part of my system but I'd like to know if rails 4 provides something interesting and easy to use for this means......Are there any libraries or built-in methods I could use to simplify sessions and users?
Strictly speaking as included in Rails, you may want to explore HttpAuthentication: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/HttpAuthentication/Basic.html
Otherwise the gems Monban and Devise are pretty popular.

I am building an enterprise application in rails that will have a few thousand users. I want to know what is the best authenticating platform. I can do a authenticating scaffold from scratch and have worked with Devise.
Only employees from specific companies should be able to log-on and request products. similar to amazon but specific for a few companies
What are the other options? What is the best course of action?
Devise is a powerful authentication system that should be able to handle what you want done perfectly.

Is there suppose to be a Flickr API (provided by Flickr)?
If not, i see a couple of flickr "kits" on GitHub (objectiveflickr and flickrkit).
Which is preferred?
Or maybe it is better to just write my own custom routine (all i need to do is authenticate (if required) and upload an image)?
Your thoughts appreciated.
Their website lists APIs.
https://www.flickr.com/services/api/
First hit on Google for Flickr API.

i am trying to make an web application using which a user will edit some posts, and after confirmation of administrator user these changes will reflect in POST table (Model). is there any GEM which can do this task.
Just for the sake of example we can named this system Dynamic Approval System.
Sorry for my bad elaboration, :)
You might want to try Draftsman
Draftsman is a Ruby gem that lets you create draft versions of your
database records. If you're developing a system in need of simple
drafts or a publishing approval queue, then Draftsman just might be
what you need.

I'm trying to check domain name availability from my Rails app. Is there a good (free) API to do this with?
There's a whois client for Ruby on Github that seems to be updated regularly:
https://github.com/weppos/whois
The API doesn't look bad, either.
You can do this (and many other operations) using dnsimple
But it's not free, it starts at $3/month with a 30 days free trial.
