What it does

Open Graph & Twitter cards — og:title, og:description, og:image, og:site_name, og:type, plus Twitter card/title/description/image.
Core metadata — page title, meta description, canonical URL, lang, charset, theme-color.
Favicon — resolved to an absolute URL (with sensible fallback).
Redirect-aware — reports the finalUrl and HTTP status.
Batch — pass many URLs, get one clean record each.

Use cases

Link previews / unfurling — build rich cards for a chat app, CMS, or bookmarking tool.
Content & social tooling — pull OG images and titles for scheduling or dashboards.
QA / SEO spot-checks — confirm a page's OG/Twitter tags render correctly.

Input

Field	Description
`urls`	One or more URLs to extract metadata from.
`maxUrls`	Safety cap on URLs processed per run.

Output

{
  "url": "https://apify.com",
  "finalUrl": "https://apify.com",
  "statusCode": 200,
  "title": "Apify: The largest marketplace of trusted tools for AI",
  "description": "Thousands of tools to automate your business...",
  "ogImage": "https://apify.com/og-image?title=...",
  "ogSiteName": "Apify",
  "twitterCard": "summary_large_image",
  "canonical": "https://apify.com",
  "favicon": "https://apify.com/favicon.ico",
  "lang": "en"
}

Need more than metadata?

This is the free, lightweight sibling of my data-extraction Actors — if you need the full content, not just the preview:

LLM-Ready Web Extractor — any URL or whole site → clean Markdown/JSON for LLMs & RAG.
SEO Audit & Site Health Checker — crawl a site for per-page SEO issues and a health score.
llms.txt Generator — make any website LLM-ready.

Notes

Reads server-rendered HTML <head> metadata (what social crawlers see). It does not execute JavaScript.
Public pages only — no login or paywall bypass.

FAQ

Is it really free? Yes — no per-result charge. You only ever pay Apify's standard platform usage for the run itself.

What formats can I export? JSON, JSONL, CSV, or Excel, or via the Apify API.
