RealFaviconGenerator.net

Quite simply, the best way to do this is to use a service that generates the markup and icons for you. The best I've found so far is the ol' faithful realfavicongenerator.net. You can upload an icon image, specify some preferences, and it will generate a ZIP file with your icons properly sized and set up, as well as the HTML to insert into your site's section.

Icon Horse

You could use an existing service. Shameless plug – I built Icon Horse for this purpose, you can use it free (or upgrade for additional features). Other services also exist, like Favicon Grabber. Some search engines like Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo also have APIs for this, but since they're intended for internal use and are undocumented and unsupported, be prepared that they might not work like you want or they might stop working at any moment.
