Original answer

You can also try Statvoo's Favicon API, e.g.

https://api.statvoo.com/favicon/?url=google.com

https://api.statvoo.com/favicon/?url=stackoverflow.com

etc..

They also have quite a few other API's you can use if you look around. Most of which are free and have been around for years.

Here's some Favicon Fetchers I have found

Free Favicon-Service by AllesEDV.at - https://f1.allesedv.com/stackoverflow.com
Google Favicon Snatcher - https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=stackoverflow.com
Favicon Grabber - http://favicongrabber.com/api/grab/stackoverflow.com

For Favicon Grabber it will return as JSON list of icon URLs.

Alternatively you can load the main page of the site and figure it out from there: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1990487/
