REST API: Import profile photo from external URL

[Sonya*]

I create members with REST API: POST https://myurl.com/api/core/members

Assuming I have an avatar image URL like this https://pixabay.com/get/g0e4242279c2ba3e6b5db76446d77d582a4b7d0339ba7d3fe376118abe673fe7b57bbbfa97b1f69ea042053b4ba80222c_640.jpg

I would like to import the image into IPS, save it in uploads (prevent hot linking), and set as a custom profile photo for the created member.

Is there any way to do it through REST API?
