I remember having similar issues a few years ago, I think I ended up using a google service to capture favicons (can't seem to find it anymore)
EDIT: Found it! https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain= https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=
(simply add a domain name after '=' and it will return the website favicon)
- scottdeto 7y agoI came here to post this same tip. "<img src="https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=news.ycombinator.com" https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=news.ycombinator.c... />"
- jessaustin 7y agoBe advised... while this img tag is ok for embedding, clicking on the link in HN reveals an extra quote character.
- simplecto 7y agoFunny how google keeps this service around indefinitely but will kill off any number of other services :-) Though, I'm sure this is much cheaper to keep the lights on vs. something like Wave (RIP) or Plus.
- underthensun 7y agoIs this a tool that Google made public to developers use or people just found it?
- Drew_ 7y agoI've used this in a side project and it's still very hit or miss. Especially depending on how you format your domain URL.
