Font Awesome

Font Awesome is the web's most popular icon library and toolkit, providing thousands of SVG, font, and CSS icons across multiple styles and families for web, desktop, and mobile projects. Beyond the icon sets and framework components (React, Vue, Angular, Ember, Svelte, React Native, WordPress), Font Awesome operates a public GraphQL API at api.fontawesome.com that lets developers programmatically query releases, search icons and their metadata, resolve family-styles and unicode values, and — with an authenticated access token — read account Kits, entitlements, and download subsets. The API uses a token-exchange endpoint that resolves an account API token into a short-lived bearer access token scoped by permission (public, kits_read, svg_icons_free, svg_icons_pro, and more). Font Awesome also ships a first-party `fa` CLI and official AI agent skills for icon discovery and setup.

Font Awesome publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Icons, SVG, Fonts, Web Design, and Developer Tools.

Font Awesome’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, CLI, changelog, engineering blog, and 20 more developer resources.
