Faviconic

Fetch a favicon from a URL, with multiple fallbacks.

Full online documentation is available here.

You can find the package on Hex here.

For example.com it will first try example.com/favicon.ico, then it will try to find the icon file path in the HTML, and if it does, try to fetch that icon. If both fail, then it will query https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=example.com

To use

case Faviconic.fetch("google.com") do
  {:ok, image} -> image # image itself is returned
  {:error, error_message} -> IO.inspect(error_message)
end

case Faviconic.get("google.com") do
  {:ok, url} -> url # icon URL is returned
  {:error, error_message} -> IO.inspect(error_message)
end
