OpenGraph & Twitter Card Inspector

Inspect OpenGraph and Twitter Card meta tags across hundreds of URLs to QA your social sharing previews before they go live. A missing og:image or wrong twitter:card type means ugly link previews on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, and X -- and you only find out after someone shares the link. Bulk-check every page and get a clear report of what is present, what is missing, and what needs fixing.

Features

• OpenGraph extraction — captures og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type, and all other OG tags
• Twitter Card extraction — reads twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image, and related tags
• Basic meta tags — also grabs the page <title> and <meta name="description"> for comparison
• Missing tag detection — flags essential tags that are absent so you can prioritize fixes
• Bulk processing — scan hundreds of URLs in a single run with configurable concurrency
• Structured output — OG and Twitter tags are returned as separate objects for easy filtering
• Pay-per-event billing — you only pay for each URL inspected, with automatic charge-limit enforcement

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
urls	array	Yes	—	List of page URLs to inspect for OpenGraph and Twitter Card meta tags.
url	string	No	—	Single URL to inspect (for backwards compatibility). Use urls for bulk processing.
timeoutSeconds	integer	No	15	Maximum seconds to wait for each page response before timing out.
