## About

FaviconAPI is a self-hosted favicon API and proxy designed to aggregate multiple upstream providers and HTML scrapers in parallel. It queries over 10 independent favicon providers and 4 service icon catalogs to retrieve, normalize, and cache the highest-quality icon for any given domain or application name. It serves as a unified backend service to fetch high-resolution icons and logos without relying on a single upstream endpoint or manual asset hosting.
