📤 Output Format

The actor returns a structured JSON array with:

• url → the input domain name.
• img_url → the direct S3 link to the favicon.

Example Output:

[
  {
    "url": "nike.com",
    "img_url": "https://example.com/nike.ico"
  },
  {
    "url": "adidas.com",
    "img_url": "https://example.com/adidas.ico"
  }
]

🔑 Usage Notes

  "img_url": null
}
