Open Graph & Twitter Card Extractor - social share tags from any URL

Extract the social-sharing tags of any page exactly as Facebook, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn read them: Open Graph (og:*), Twitter Card (twitter:*), article:*, fb:*, and Pinterest tags - plus ready-made per-network preview objects and the resolved title/description/image each network would actually show. Single URL or bulk.

$0.0015 per page - cheaper than the paid meta-tag/link-preview actors measured on the Store. Failed fetches are recorded free.

What you get

• openGraph, twitter, article, fb, pinterest tag objects.
• previews for facebook, twitter, linkedin - image/title/description/domain, with the same fallbacks the networks use.
• resolved title/description/image (og -> twitter -> <title>/meta chain) and canonical.
• Image URLs absolutized to the final page URL.
• Fail-soft: an unreachable URL returns {ok:false, error} and is never charged.

Limits (honest ones)

• Reads the server HTML; tags injected by JavaScript after load are not seen.
• Preview objects reproduce the networks' documented fallback logic; the live crawlers can still override with their own heuristics.
• maxUrls capped at 100 per run.

FAQ

• Does it show how my link will look when shared? Yes - the previews objects mirror what Facebook, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn assemble from your tags.
• Open Graph and Twitter both? Yes, plus article/fb/Pinterest and the resolved fallbacks.
• Does it run JavaScript? No - server HTML only, which is where social tags belong.
• What about a dead URL? You get an {ok:false, error} record, uncharged.

When not to use this

• You need a rendered preview image. This returns the tags and the resolved image URL, not a screenshot or a composited card graphic. Use a screenshot actor if you want a picture.
• You need to force the networks to re-scrape. Facebook's Sharing Debugger and X's card validator clear their own caches; nothing external can do that for them. This tells you what they would read on a fresh fetch.
• Your tags are injected by JavaScript. There is no headless browser here. If your framework sets og: tags client-side, social crawlers usually will not see them either, which is worth knowing - but this actor will report them missing rather than rendering the page.
• You want general SEO meta (titles, robots, hreflang, canonicals at scale). Only canonical, <title> and description are picked up as fallbacks here; the focus is social sharing tags. Use an SEO meta auditor for the full set.
• You want structured data (JSON-LD, Microdata, RDFa). Different vocabulary, different actor - see our Structured Data Extractor.
