Improved favicon detection for metadata_icon

Improved `metadata_icon` to check common favicon link variants more reliably.

We fixed an issue where fallback favicon selectors were not tried if link[rel="icon"] was missing.

Now, when metadata_icon=true, ScreenshotOne checks these selectors in order:

  • link[rel="icon"]
  • link[rel="shortcut icon"]
  • link[rel="icon shortcut"]

This improves favicon extraction reliability for websites that use different rel conventions.

Use it as usual:

https://api.screenshotone.com/take?metadata_icon=true&url=https://example.com/&access_key=<access key>

If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know at support@screenshotone.com.
