Icon Horse API
Overview
Icon Horse fetches the best available favicon for any website URL with a graceful fallback when none exists. No auth or signup needed—just pass a domain name and get an image back.
Beginner Tip
The response is an image, not JSON. Use the URL directly in an img src tag: https://icon.horse/icon/example.com
