A small efficient actor that loads a web page, parses its HTML using Cheerio library and extracts the following meta-data from the <HEAD> tag, such as page title, description, author etc.
You can access the Metadata Extractor programmatically from your own Python applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.

3# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
4# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
5client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

16# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
17run = client.actor("jancurn/extract-metadata").call(run_input=run_input)
