Favicon & Brand Icon Extractor

Extract favicons, Apple touch icons, and other brand icons from any website in bulk. Building a link directory, dashboard, or brand monitoring tool requires site icons -- and manually hunting for the right favicon URL across different markup conventions is tedious. Pass in a list of domains and get every declared icon with sizes, types, and resolved URLs.

Features

• Standard favicons — extracts <link rel="icon"> and <link rel="shortcut icon"> declarations
• Apple touch icons — captures <link rel="apple-touch-icon"> for iOS home screen display
• Safari mask icons — detects <link rel="mask-icon"> pinned-tab SVGs
• Fallback detection — automatically includes the default /favicon.ico path when no icon is declared in markup
• Full URL resolution — resolves relative icon paths to absolute URLs ready for direct download
• Bulk processing — scan hundreds of sites in a single run with configurable concurrency
• Pay-per-event billing — you only pay for each site checked, with automatic charge-limit enforcement

Input

Input Example

{
"urls":[
"https://crawlee.dev",
"https://github.com",
"https://apify.com"
]
}

Output

Each URL produces one dataset item listing all detected icons for that site.

• inputUrl (string) — the URL you submitted
• finalUrl (string) — the URL after redirects
• status (number) — HTTP status code
• iconCount (number) — total number of icons found
• icons (array) — list of icon objects, each containing:
  • rel (string) — the link rel attribute (e.g., icon, apple-touch-icon, mask-icon)
  • href (string) — resolved absolute URL of the icon
  • sizes (string | null) — declared icon dimensions (e.g., 32x32, 180x180)
  • type (string | null) — MIME type if specified (e.g., image/png, image/x-icon)
• error (string | null) — error message if the URL could not be fetched
• checkedAt (string) — ISO 8601 timestamp of when the check was performed

Output Example

{
"inputUrl":"https://crawlee.dev",
"finalUrl":"https://crawlee.dev/",
"status":200,
"iconCount":3,

"sizes":null,
"type":"image/x-icon"
