Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Favicon Downloader – Download Website Favicons Automatically ### πŸ“Œ What is Favicon Downloader? **Favicon Downloader** is a powerful Apify actor that lets you **fetch and download favicons (site icons) from any website automatically**. Whether you provide a **single URL** or a **list of multiple domains**, the actor retrieves each website’s favicon and generating **direct download links** to `.ico` files. This tool is ideal for: * Building favicon datasets * Branding and competitor research * Automating workflows with website icons * Enriching applications with visual favicon assets --- ### βš™οΈ How It Works 1. **Input a domain or list of domains** (e.g., nike.com, adidas.com). 3. **Favicons are stored and return** as `.ico` files. 4. **Get a JSON output** containing direct download links to each favicon. --- ### πŸ“₯ Input Format The actor accepts a simple JSON object. You can enter a single website or multiple websites. **Single URL Example:** ```json { "url": "nike.com" } ```` **Multiple URLs Example:** ```json { "urls": ["nike.com", "adidas.com", "puma.com"] } ``` *** ### πŸ“€ Output Format The actor returns a structured JSON array with: - `url` β†’ the input domain name. - `img_url` β†’ the direct S3 link to the favicon. **Example Output:** ```json [ { "url": "nike.com", "img_url": "https://example.com/nike.ico" }, { "url": "adidas.com", "img_url": "https://example.com/adidas.ico" } ] ``` *** ### πŸ”‘ Usage Notes - Always provide **valid URLs or domains** (e.g., `"nike.com"` or `"https://nike.com"`). - Favicons are stored in **`.ico` format**. - If a favicon cannot be retrieved, the response will return: ```json { "url": "example.com", "img_url": null } ``` *** ### Why Use Favicon Downloader? - **Automation Ready:** Save time fetching favicons in bulk. - **Scalable:** Process thousands of domains at once. - **Reliable:** Built-in error handling ensures clean JSON outputs. - **Flexible:** Works for data collection, branding, research, and app development. *** βœ… With **Favicon Downloader**, you can instantly collect website favicons and enhance your automation, branding, or research projects with **ready-to-use favicon assets**. *** # Actor input Schema ## `url` (type: `string`): Enter a single website domain or URL to fetch its favicon. ## `urls` (type: `array`): Enter multiple website domains or URLs to fetch their favicons. ## Actor input object example ```json { "url": "https://www.google.com/", "urls": [ "https://www.nike.com", "https://www.facebook.com" ] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "url": "https://www.google.com/", "urls": [ "https://www.nike.com", "https://www.facebook.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("coder_zoro/favicon-downloader").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`πŸ’Ύ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // πŸ“š Want to learn more πŸ“–?
