URL Metadata & Open Graph Extractor (Bulk)

Paste a list of URLs and get one clean row of metadata per page:

• Basics: title, meta description, canonical URL, language, first H1, word count.
• Open Graph: og:title, og:description, og:image, og:type, og:url, site name.
• Twitter / X card: card type, title, description, image, @site.
• Favicon: the largest icon the page declares (or /favicon.ico, flagged as a guess).
• Article data: author, published and modified dates (as ISO dates), keywords.
• Indexing: meta robots, noindex, hreflang alternates, JSON-LD structured data types.
• preview: the title, description and image a chat app or social network would show when the link is shared (Open Graph first, then Twitter, then the plain tags).
• HTTP: status code, final URL after redirects and the redirect chain.

Respects robots.txt of every site. No browser, no proxies; the User-Agent says url-metadata. In our test, 7 URLs took 3 seconds.

Use it for

• Link previews in your app, newsletter or CMS without running your own fetcher.
• Content and SEO inventories: titles, descriptions and canonicals of hundreds of URLs in one table.
• Social sharing QA: find pages with no og:image or a missing description before a campaign.
• Enrich lists of URLs (leads, bookmarks, backlinks, search results) with a title, description, image and icon.
• AI agents and RAG pipelines: a compact, structured summary of any page, callable through the Apify MCP server.

Pricing

Pay per event: one event per page read (status: ok). Errors, non-HTML URLs, robots-blocked URLs, invalid inputs and duplicates are saved free. Set a maximum cost for the run and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Use it from AI agents (MCP)

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other MCP client can run this Actor as a tool: add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=digital_influx/url-metadata as a remote MCP server and sign in with your Apify account. It is also one of the tools of Marketing & SEO Research MCP (digital_influx/marketing-research-mcp), by the same author, made for agents.

Good to know

• The Actor reads the HTML the server sends. Tags that a page adds with JavaScript after loading are not seen (most sites put their meta tags in the HTML for exactly this reason: social networks read it the same way).
• Dates are converted to ISO format when they can be parsed, and kept as written otherwise.
• Need a whole website instead of a list of URLs? Use SEO Audit & Broken Link Checker by the same author.

Support

A tag that should be read and isn't? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab with the URL. Issues get an answer within a few days.
