Open Graph & URL Metadata Extractor - Link Preview, Favicon

✅ Tested daily with its default input (Apify's automated QA plus our own smoke test before every release).

Open Graph and URL metadata extractor: everything you need to render a link preview, or to audit how your pages look when shared, from one request per URL. Get titles, descriptions, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags, favicons and a list of preview problems. $0.0009 per URL.

Use cases

• Link previews in chat apps, CMSs, bookmark tools and newsletters
• Social share audit: find pages without og:image, with a broken share image or a missing Twitter Card
• Brand enrichment: favicon, apple-touch-icon, theme color and site name for a list of company websites
• SEO checks: title and description length, canonical, robots meta, hreflang and structured-data types

Output per URL

Group	Fields
Basics	title, titleLength, description, descriptionLength, canonical, language, robots, h1, finalUrl, status
Open Graph	ogTitle, ogDescription, ogImage, ogType, ogUrl, siteName, plus the full openGraph object
Twitter	twitterCard, twitterImage, full twitter object
Icons	favicon, appleTouchIcon, all icons with sizes, manifest, themeColor
Extras	jsonLdTypes (e.g. Organization, Product, Article), hreflang, rssFeeds
Checks	faviconCheck, ogImageCheck (status + content type) and previewIssues

previewIssues is a plain list such as ["missing og:image", "title longer than 60 characters"] — easy to filter in a spreadsheet.

Relative URLs are resolved to absolute ones. If a page declares no icon, /favicon.ico is used and verified.

Input

Field	Default	Description
urls	–	Pages to read
checkFavicon	true	Verify that favicon and og:image actually load
timeoutSecs	20	Per-request timeout

Pricing (pay per event)

• $0.0009 per URL whose HTML was read. Unreachable pages and non-HTML responses are reported for free.

Notes

Only the URLs you supply are requested (plus the favicon and share image when verification is on). The Actor reads public page metadata; it does not collect personal data.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

This Actor can be used as a tool by AI agents (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, other MCP clients) through the official Apify MCP server:

• Add only this Actor as a tool: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=admirala/url-metadata-opengraph-favicon (sign in with OAuth or an Apify API token).
• Or connect https://mcp.apify.com and let the agent find it with search-actors (e.g. "open graph"), read the input schema with fetch-actor-details and run it with call-actor.

Example input an agent can pass:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.wikipedia.org",
    "https://github.com"
  ]
}

Cost per call: $0.0009 per URL whose HTML was read; unreachable pages are free. Results come back as dataset items (get-dataset-items).
