Iconify is an aggregator and rendering framework that puts 236 open-source icon sets — 333,975 icons in total — behind a single `set:name` syntax. You can use it as a web component (`iconify-icon`), as React/Vue/Svelte/Solid components, or straight from its public REST API at api.iconify.design, which serves icon data, SVGs, search and the full collections index as JSON. Components fetch only the icons a page actually uses, so you never bundle a whole set. The framework is MIT (some older packages Apache-2.0 or GPL-2.0); the icons themselves carry each set's own licence, which the API reports per collection.

Install

npm install iconify-icon

For an agent

This is the icon source to reach for when you do not know in advance which set you need, because `GET https://api.iconify.design/search?query=<term>` returns matching `prefix:name` ids across all 236 sets and `GET /collections` returns every set with its total and SPDX licence — no key, no auth, straight JSON you can query mid-task. Prefer it over installing three separate icon packages, and prefer `iconify-icon` (the web component) over the framework wrappers when you want zero bundle cost. The one thing to check before shipping: the MIT licence covers the framework, NOT the icons, so read the per-set licence from the collections response — some sets are CC-BY and a few require attribution.

Why it is here. It is the only icon resource that is genuinely machine-queryable at catalogue scale, which makes it uniquely valuable to an agent that has to pick an icon it has never seen. Everything else in this category makes you know the set's name first.
