Free IPv6 enabled Favicon-Service
Retrieves the favicon for a domain, or returns a blank icon if it does not find one. It will find favicons specified by an HTML page's <link> element. Feel free to hotlink. It would be nice if you could email us if you plan to make more than a couple of requests per second.
How to use?
Just embed the icon like an image. The Last part of the url is the Domain to retrieve the favicon for. http://f1.allesedv.com/{domain}
| <img src="http://f1.allesedv.com/16/google.com" /> |
