      External functions usually creates the user profile image using

      moodle_url::make_pluginfile_url( $usercontext->id, 'user', 'icon', null, '/', 'f1');
      or
      moodle_url::make_webservice_pluginfile_url( $usercontext->id, 'user', 'icon', null, '/', 'f1');

      As mentioned in MDL-49763 the user_picture class method get_url should be used
