      <guid>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-run-an-seo-audit-on-any-website-without-manual-checks-2937</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the problem
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;maintaining good seo can be tedious, especially if you rely on manual checks or outdated tools. it takes time to spot your website's seo issues, which could be impacting your traffic.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the solution
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;with the seo-audit api, you can get a quick report on your website's seo health. here`s a basic example:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;curl -G &lt;a href="https://seo-audit.apimesh.xyz/check" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://seo-audit.apimesh.xyz/check&lt;/a&gt; --data-urlencode "url=&lt;a href="https://example.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://example.com&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sample output&lt;/strong&gt; (shape):&lt;br&gt;
{&lt;br&gt;
  "url": "&lt;a href="https://example.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://example.com&lt;/a&gt;",&lt;br&gt;
  "score": 75,&lt;br&gt;
  "issues": ["missing meta description", "slow load time"]&lt;br&gt;
}&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  how it works
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;this api performs a fetch to your given URL, analyzes key seo elements, and returns a JSON report with a score and identified issues. it`s built to be fast and developer-friendly.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>how to verify email safety instantly without manual checks</title>
      <dc:creator>Maximus Beato</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 10:10:37 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-verify-email-safety-instantly-without-manual-checks-kig</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-verify-email-safety-instantly-without-manual-checks-kig</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the problem
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;identifying malicious or fake emails manually is time-consuming and error-prone. as email scams become more sophisticated, you need a quick way to verify email legitimacy before processing or responding.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the solution
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the email-security api provides a straightforward endpoint to check the safety status of an email address. with a simple GET request, you get a response indicating if the email is safe or potentially risky.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;example request:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;curl &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-X&lt;/span&gt; GET https://email-security.apimesh.xyz/check?email&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nb"&gt;test&lt;/span&gt;@example.com

&lt;span class="k"&gt;**&lt;/span&gt;sample output:&lt;span class="k"&gt;**&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"email"&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"test@example.com"&lt;/span&gt;,
  &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"status"&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"safe"&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  how it works
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;when you call the api with an email address, it runs a background check against known threat databases, spam lists, and risk patterns. the response tells you whether the email is considered safe, suspicious, or malicious.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  try it out
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;see the results for yourself with our free preview endpoint or start integrating it into your system. pricing is $0.005 per call — no hidden fees. get peace of mind knowing your email checks are quick and reliable.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>how to troubleshoot redirect chains efficiently with the redirect-chain api</title>
      <dc:creator>Maximus Beato</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 06:07:37 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-troubleshoot-redirect-chains-efficiently-with-the-redirect-chain-api-413i</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-troubleshoot-redirect-chains-efficiently-with-the-redirect-chain-api-413i</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;when dealing with web redirects, identifying where the chain breaks or causes delays can be frustrating. manually following each redirect is time-consuming and error-prone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the redirect-chain api simplifies this by providing a clear, programmatic way to check the entire redirect chain for any URL.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;here's how it works:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt; curl https://redirect-chain.apimesh.xyz/check?url&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;https://example.com

&lt;span class="c"&gt;# Response example&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"initial_url"&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"https://example.com"&lt;/span&gt;,
  &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"redirects"&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span class="o"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"https://redirect1.com"&lt;/span&gt;,
    &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"https://redirect2.com"&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="o"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;,
  &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"final_url"&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"https://finaldestination.com"&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;the API processes the URL, follows all redirects up to a limit, and returns the full chain plus the end URL.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;it works by making server-side requests, handling redirects internally, and returning the array of redirect URLs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;try it out: the preview endpoint is free to test at &lt;a href="https://redirect-chain.apimesh.xyz/preview?url=https://example.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://redirect-chain.apimesh.xyz/preview?url=https://example.com&lt;/a&gt;. after, it's only $0.005 per call.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;no more guessing — see exactly how your URLs redirect.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>how to easily verify security headers on your website without complex tools</title>
      <dc:creator>Maximus Beato</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 06:07:35 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-easily-verify-security-headers-on-your-website-without-complex-tools-2nia</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-easily-verify-security-headers-on-your-website-without-complex-tools-2nia</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;the problem&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;manually inspecting security headers can be tedious, error-prone, and requires multiple tools or scripts. for developers who want a quick way to ensure their sites have proper security headers, this process often feels like a chore.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the solution&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;our security-headers api simplifies this process. you send a simple request to /check with your url, and it returns the security headers found on your site. it`s fast, reliable, and easy to integrate into your workflow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;here`s how it works&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;you make a GET request to &lt;a href="https://security-headers.apimesh.xyz/check" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://security-headers.apimesh.xyz/check&lt;/a&gt; with the url parameter. the API performs a fetch to your site, inspects the response headers, and returns a structured json object showing the security headers detected.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;try it out&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;start testing with the free preview endpoint at &lt;a href="https://security-headers.apimesh.xyz/preview?url=yourwebsite.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://security-headers.apimesh.xyz/preview?url=yourwebsite.com&lt;/a&gt;. for regular checks, it costs just $0.005 per call — small price for peace of mind in security.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;this tool is perfect for devs, security auditors, or anyone managing web apps who need a quick way to verify security headers and improve security posture.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>how to automatically generate and verify swagger docs for your api without manual effort</title>
      <dc:creator>Maximus Beato</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 10:19:21 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-automatically-generate-and-verify-swagger-docs-for-your-api-without-manual-effort-21e1</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-automatically-generate-and-verify-swagger-docs-for-your-api-without-manual-effort-21e1</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the problem
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;keeping api documentation up-to-date and accurate is often a tedious task. manual updates are error-prone, time-consuming, and can cause mismatch issues between your code and docs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the solution
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the swagger-docs-creator API helps you verify and generate swagger documentation effortlessly. send a simple request to check your swagger setup and ensure it's valid.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;example request:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="nb"&gt;echo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s1"&gt;'{"swagger": "2.0", "info": {"title": "sample api", "version": "1.0"}}'&lt;/span&gt; | curl &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-X&lt;/span&gt; GET https://swagger-docs-creator.apimesh.xyz/check
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;expected output shape:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
{&lt;br&gt;
  "status": "ok",&lt;br&gt;
  "message": "swagger document is valid"&lt;br&gt;
}&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  how it works
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;this API accepts your swagger JSON via stdin and performs validation, returning a clear message about the validity. the endpoint is designed for quick checks during your build or CI pipeline.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  try it out
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;you can test it for free with limited requests or subscribe at just $0.005 per call for reliable, automated swagger validation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://swagger-docs-creator.apimesh.xyz/preview?endpoint=/check&amp;amp;method=GET" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;try the api here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;keep your api docs accurate without the hassle and integrate seamlessly into your workflow.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>how to validate yaml files instantly without manual checks</title>
      <dc:creator>Maximus Beato</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 10:19:18 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-validate-yaml-files-instantly-without-manual-checks-2f4d</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-validate-yaml-files-instantly-without-manual-checks-2f4d</guid>
      <description>&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  the problem
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;working with yaml files can be frustrating, especially when trying to catch syntax errors before deployment. manually validating or using heavy tools slows down your workflow.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  the solution
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;our yaml-validator api provides an endpoint to check your yaml syntax instantly. just send a get request and get immediate feedback. for example:&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;

curl -G https://yaml-validator.apimesh.xyz/check --data-urlencode "yaml=key: value" 
/* response:
{
  "valid": true,
  "errors": []
}


### how it works
the api takes your yaml string as a query parameter, parses it, and returns a json object indicating if it's valid along with error details if not.

### try it
spend less time debugging yaml syntax. check out our free preview at https://yaml-validator.apimesh.xyz/preview or start validating for just $0.005 per call.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>how to reliably analyze robots.txt rules without manually parsing or crawling the site</title>
      <dc:creator>Maximus Beato</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 06:09:13 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-reliably-analyze-robotstxt-rules-without-manually-parsing-or-crawling-the-site-21ac</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-reliably-analyze-robotstxt-rules-without-manually-parsing-or-crawling-the-site-21ac</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the problem``
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;when managing large websites or multiple clients, it``s common to need quick insights into robots.txt files. manually checking each file or crawling the site to evaluate access can be time-consuming and error-prone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the solution``
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the robots-txt-parser api provides a straightforward way to parse and analyze robots.txt files for any website. simply send a request to check a site``s rules and get a clear picture of what crawlers are allowed or disallowed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;example usage:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
bash
curl -G https://robots-txt-parser.apimesh.xyz/check \
    --data-urlencode "url=https://example.com"

**expected output shape:**

{
  "user_agent": "googlebot",
  "allow": ["/"],
  "disallow": ["/admin"],
  "crawl_delay": 10
}

## how it works
this api fetches the robots.txt file from the provided URL, then parses its rules to determine what access rules apply to specified user agents. it converts the text into a structured, machine-readable format.

## try it yourself
test out the api with the free preview at https://robots-txt-parser.apimesh.xyz/preview or explore the full features with a simple pay-per-call model at $0.005 per request. get precise insights quickly and integrate seamlessly into your workflow.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>how to reliably parse user-agent strings without complex regex or extra libraries</title>
      <dc:creator>Maximus Beato</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 06:09:10 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-reliably-parse-user-agent-strings-without-complex-regex-or-extra-libraries-2l0m</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-reliably-parse-user-agent-strings-without-complex-regex-or-extra-libraries-2l0m</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the problem
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;understanding what device, browser, or os your visitors are using can be a nightmare. user-agent strings are inconsistent and parsing them manually is a pain, especially at scale.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the solution
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;use the user-agent-analyzer api to parse user-agents into structured data. here's a sample request:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;curl &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-X&lt;/span&gt; GET &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"https://user-agent-analyzer.apimesh.xyz/check?ua=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/115.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"&lt;/span&gt;

// response shape:
&lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"browser"&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Chrome"&lt;/span&gt;,
  &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"os"&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"Windows 10"&lt;/span&gt;,
  &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"device"&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"desktop"&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  how it works
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;this api matches user-agent strings against an internal database of device/browser/os patterns. it returns clean, structured info that can be used for analytics, content optimization, or debugging.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  try it
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;get a free preview at &lt;a href="https://user-agent-analyzer.apimesh.xyz/preview" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://user-agent-analyzer.apimesh.xyz/preview&lt;/a&gt;. pricing is $0.005 per call. integrate easily with any backend or front end to improve your user insights.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>how to build and test regex patterns faster using regex-builder api</title>
      <dc:creator>Maximus Beato</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 10:20:15 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-build-and-test-regex-patterns-faster-using-regex-builder-api-5184</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/mbeato/how-to-build-and-test-regex-patterns-faster-using-regex-builder-api-5184</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the problem
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;writing regex can be tedious and error-prone, especially when you need to test specific patterns quickly. switching between code and regex testers feels inefficient and slows down development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the solution
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;regex-builder offers a straightforward API to construct and test regex patterns in real time. you send your pattern and test string, and it confirms whether they match.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;example request:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;

curl -G https://regex-builder.apimesh.xyz/check --data-urlencode "pattern=\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}" --data-urlencode "test_string=123-45-6789"


**example response:**


{
  "match": true,
  "pattern": "\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{4}",
  "test_string": "123-45-6789"
}


## how it works
just send a GET request with your regex pattern and test string. the api processes your pattern, runs the match, and returns a simple boolean along with pattern details. it’s built for speed and simplicity.

## try it
give it a shot with the demo link: https://regex-builder.apimesh.xyz/preview. the api is priced at $0.005 per call, no subscriptions — pay as you test.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the problem
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;when developing or maintaining apps, ensuring your endpoints return the correct status codes is a hassle. checking manually is time-consuming and error-prone, especially with multiple endpoints.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the solution
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;with the status-code-checker api, you can automate status code validation effortlessly. here's a quick example:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;curl &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-i&lt;/span&gt; https://status-code-checker.apimesh.xyz/check?url&lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt;https://example.com

&lt;span class="c"&gt;# sample-output&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="o"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"status_code"&lt;/span&gt;: 200, &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"url"&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"https://example.com"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  how it works
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the api accepts a target url as a parameter, performs an HTTP request, and returns the status code along with the original url. it simplifies integration by providing a straightforward json response.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;

&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;test it with our free preview endpoint: &lt;a href="https://status-code-checker.apimesh.xyz/preview?url=https://example.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://status-code-checker.apimesh.xyz/preview?url=https://example.com&lt;/a&gt;. pricing is $0.005 per check, making it affordable for continuous monitoring or automated tests.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>how to reliably monitor your microservices health without complex setups</title>

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the problem
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;keeping tabs on multiple microservices can be a pain. manual checks or complex dashboards often add overhead and delay response times. this can lead to unnoticed outages or degraded service quality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  the solution
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the microservice-health-check API simplifies this process. with a simple GET request, you can verify if a service is up and running. here's an example:&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;

curl -X GET https://microservice-health-check.apimesh.xyz/check

/* example response */
{
  "status": "ok",
  "timestamp": "2024-04-27T12:00:00Z"
}

it returns a straightforward JSON indicating service health.

## how it works
this API performs a quick health check by querying the service's health endpoint internally (or using configured checks). it then returns a JSON object with status info, making it easy to integrate into automation or monitoring tools.

## try it now
you can test the API for free at https://microservice-health-check.apimesh.xyz/preview?token=free &amp;amp; get health status reports for your services. pricing is $0.005 per call, so lightweight monitoring is affordable.

serverless, simple, reliable — get your microservices health at a glance.
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>how to automate favicon validation for your websites using an api</title>
      <dc:creator>Maximus Beato</dc:creator>

      <description>&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  the problem
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;website owners often struggle to ensure their favicons are correctly implemented across multiple pages. manually checking each site or page is tedious and error-prone.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  the solution
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;with favicon-checker api, you can quickly verify if a site has a favicon set up correctly. for example:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;br&gt;
curl -s https://favicon-checker.apimesh.xyz/check?url=https://example.com&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;this returns a response like:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;`json&lt;br&gt;
{&lt;br&gt;
  "url": "&lt;a href="https://example.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://example.com&lt;/a&gt;",&lt;br&gt;
  "hasFavicon": true,&lt;br&gt;
  "faviconUrl": "&lt;a href="https://example.com/favicon.ico" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://example.com/favicon.ico&lt;/a&gt;"&lt;br&gt;
}&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  how it works
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;it sends a GET request to the &lt;code&gt;/check&lt;/code&gt; endpoint with the site URL as a parameter. the server scans the site for favicon links in the html head or default favicon locations, then returns the result.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  try it now
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;you can test it for free using the preview endpoint during development. the full api costs $0.005 per call, suitable for frequent favicon audits or integration into your CI/CD pipeline.&lt;/p&gt;
