I am only interested in the profile_path but have tried for hours to access that and cant get it done. I need to utilize angular > v6.0

thanks in advance Benedict Grünberg

Hi @bt718936, this document describes how to construct a correct path for an image.

For example, the profile_path from your output in original size:
