It fetches a website's HTML, parses link and meta tags to locate favicon references, and returns a list of Icon objects containing the URL, dimensions, and format of each icon found. The library wraps requests and beautifulsoup4 to handle the HTTP fetching and HTML parsing.\n\nYou use it by calling favicon.get() with a URL, optionally passing request parameters like headers or timeout. The function returns Icon objects you can iterate over or filter by size. It's designed for scenarios where you need to programmatically retrieve favicon URLs for display, caching, or analysis\u2014for example, building a bookmark manager, website metadata aggregator, or favicon cache.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need favicon extraction and can tolerate dormant maintenance. The library is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, but it hasn't been updated since 2019\u2014verify that its favicon discovery logic still covers your target websites. Low install friction and permissive licensing make it a low-risk addition."},"id":"favicon","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/favicon","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/favicon.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/favicon/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-08-31","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"favicon","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Get a website's favicon."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":406639,"position":6895,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.0"}
