Overview
Lordicon provides a library of high-quality animated icons delivered as Lottie JSON files and web components. You can embed animated icons in any webpage by including a script tag and using the lordicon web component — no API calls or keys needed for the free collection. It is ideal for adding polished micro-animations to landing pages or dashboards.
Beginner Tip
Add the Lordicon player script to your HTML, then use the <lord-icon src="URL"> tag to embed an animated icon. Browse free icons and copy their embed code at https://lordicon.com/icons.

if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?

How This API Fails
We deliberately sent this API a broken request and recorded exactly what came back on 2026-08-10. Knowing the shape of an error before you hit it makes error handling much easier to write.
Returned an HTML error page rather than JSON — worth knowing if your client assumes every response can be parsed as JSON.
Common Errors & Troubleshooting
Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.
