Request Body:

  "contentType": "image/x-icon",

Error Response:

  "success": false,
  "message": "Could not find favicon for the provided URL"

The API is built using Hono, a lightweight web framework. Each route is modularized in its own file for better organization and maintainability.

The favicon endpoint attempts multiple strategies to extract a favicon:

1. First tries the standard /favicon.ico path
2. If that fails, it parses the HTML to find favicon link tags
3. Returns the favicon as a base64-encoded string along with metadata

To add a new route:

1. Create a new file in the /routes directory
2. Export a Hono router with your endpoint handlers
3. Import and mount the router in index.tsx

Example:

// In /routes/newEndpoint.ts
import { Hono } from "https://esm.sh/hono@3.11.7";

const router = new Hono();

router.get("/", (c) => {
  return c.json({ message: "New endpoint" });
});

export default router;

// In index.tsx
import newEndpointRouter from "./routes/newEndpoint.ts";

// Mount the new router
app.route("/new-endpoint", newEndpointRouter);
