## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).
# README
## Favicon & Brand Asset Harvester
**Extract every icon, logo, and brand asset from any website in one request.**
This actor reads a page's ``, finds every favicon variant, every apple-touch-icon size, every web manifest icon, the Open Graph and Twitter share images, the Microsoft tile image, and the theme color — then optionally HEAD-pings each one to verify it exists and capture its size and MIME type.
### What does Favicon & Brand Asset Harvester do?
Every modern website declares 5–20 different brand assets across ``, ``, ``, ``, and more. Finding them all by hand is tedious and error-prone. This actor does it in one HTTP request and returns every absolute URL, every declared size, and every MIME type as a clean structured row.
Try it: paste `https://apify.com` into the Start URLs field and you'll get back the full set of icons Apify uses, including the 32×32 favicon, the 180×180 apple-touch-icon, every web manifest icon, the OG share image, and the theme color.
Apify platform advantages: **schedule daily runs** to detect when a competitor changes their branding, **API access** for design asset libraries, **integrations** with Slack/Notion to alert on changes, and **proxy rotation** for sites that block server IPs.
### Why use Favicon & Brand Asset Harvester?
- **Brand monitoring** — get notified when a competitor refreshes their visual identity
- **Design asset libraries** — bulk-import every brand mark from a list of URLs
- **Social preview tools** — inspect OG and Twitter card images for any URL
- **Browser extension development** — get high-quality icons for any site you display
- **App icon collection** — Apple touch icons are often the highest-quality square logo a site publishes
- **Marketing intelligence** — track what theme colors and brand visuals competitors use
- **Audit your own site** — verify every icon variant you declared actually loads
### How to use
1. Click **Try for free** (or **Start**)
2. Paste website URLs into **Start URLs**
3. Optionally toggle **Verify assets** off for faster (but less complete) output
4. Click **Start**
5. Download the dataset as JSON / CSV / Excel
### Input
- **Start URLs** — websites to harvest assets from
- **Verify each asset** — HEAD-ping each discovered URL (default: yes)
- **Fetch web app manifest** — also parse `manifest.json` for declared icons (default: yes)
- **Include Open Graph and Twitter card images** — include social share images (default: yes)
- **Proxy configuration** — optional Apify Proxy

### Data table
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `sourceUrl` | string | The URL you provided |
| `finalUrl` | string | The URL after following redirects |
| `siteName` | string | Site name from `og:site_name` or `` |
| `themeColor` | string | The `theme-color` meta value (mobile browser chrome color) |
| `favicons` | array | Every `<link rel="icon">` and `rel="shortcut icon"` |
| `appleTouchIcons` | array | Every `<link rel="apple-touch-icon">` (and `-precomposed`) |
| `manifestIcons` | array | Icons declared in the web app manifest |
| `manifestUrl` | string | URL of the manifest file (if any) |
| `openGraphImage` | string | The Facebook share image |
| `twitterImage` | string | The Twitter card image |
| `msapplicationTileImage` | string | The Windows pinned-site tile image |
| `totalAssets` | number | Total count of unique assets discovered |
| `extractedAt` | string | ISO timestamp of extraction |
### Pricing
This actor uses Apify's **pay-per-event** pricing:
- **Actor start**: $0.01 per run
- **Per site harvested**: $0.002 per URL processed
**Example costs:**
- 1 site → $0.012
- 100 sites → $0.21
- 1,000 sites → $2.01
Free Apify tier members get $5/month in platform credits, which covers ~2,000 sites/month.
### Tips and advanced options
- **Disable `verifyAssets`** to skip HEAD requests — 5-10× faster but you don't get MIME type or byte size
- **Disable `fetchManifest`** if you only care about HTML-declared icons
- **Schedule daily runs** to detect brand updates on competitors
- **Combine with other Apify actors** to build a full brand intelligence pipeline (logo + colors + tagline + tech stack)
- **Pipe the output into Figma / Notion** via Apify integrations to auto-build a brand library
### FAQ and support
**What about images loaded via JavaScript?** This actor parses raw HTML, so JavaScript-injected icons aren't captured. For SPAs, switch to a browser-based actor — but 95% of sites declare their icons in static HTML.
**What about SVG favicons?** Fully supported — the actor returns SVG URLs the same as PNG/ICO.
**Does it follow redirects?** Yes. The `finalUrl` field shows the resolved URL.
**Will it work on sites behind Cloudflare?** Most of the time, yes. For sites that aggressively block server IPs, enable Apify Proxy.
**Found a bug?** Open an issue on the Issues tab.
# Actor input Schema
## `startUrls` (type: `array`):
URLs of websites to harvest brand assets from. Pass the homepage or any page — the actor reads <head> for icon and image references.
## `verifyAssets` (type: `boolean`):
Issue a HEAD request to each discovered asset URL to confirm it exists and capture content-type + content-length. Disable for faster but less complete output.
## `fetchManifest` (type: `boolean`):
If the page declares <link rel='manifest'>, fetch the manifest.json and include all declared icons.
## `includeOpenGraph` (type: `boolean`):
Include og:image and twitter:image (the social-share preview images), not just favicons.
## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):
Optional Apify Proxy. Some sites block direct server IPs.
## Actor input object example
```json
{
"startUrls": [
{

"verifyAssets": true,
"fetchManifest": true,
"includeOpenGraph": true,
