OpenGraph & Social Card Inspector — Meta Tag Extractor API (No API Key)

Inspect how any URL appears when shared on Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord and WhatsApp — every platform that reads OpenGraph and Twitter Card meta tags. This Actor extracts all social-preview meta tags from a list of URLs — og:title, og:description, og:image, twitter:card, twitter:image, JSON-LD structured-data types, canonical URLs, favicons and theme colors — and returns one clean row per URL. Perfect for SEO audits, social-media debugging, competitive analysis and link-preview automation. No login, no browser, no API key.

🏆 Why this social-card inspector?

18 fields per URL (full OpenGraph + Twitter Card + basic SEO + JSON-LD) · up to 1,000 URLs per run · a complete allMetaTags JSON dump for custom analysis · export to JSON / CSV / Excel. The unofficial OpenGraph checker / Twitter Card validator / meta-tag API for auditing link previews at scale — with no API key.

💡 Use cases

• SEO audits at scale — paste hundreds of client URLs and get a spreadsheet showing exactly which pages have complete OpenGraph markup, which have broken og:image URLs, and which are missing Twitter Card tags entirely.
• Social-media debugging — figure out why a link doesn't show a rich preview on Slack, WhatsApp or LinkedIn — paste the URL, see all extracted tags in one view, and spot the missing or malformed tag.
• Competitive social-card analysis — study competitors' og:title patterns, og:image usage and preferred twitter:card types across their blog and landing pages.
• Content inventory & migration QA — after a website migration, verify that every page's social meta tags survived the transition.
• Automated link-preview generation — build tools that accept a URL and return a rich preview card with title, description and image.
• Broken-image triage — extract ogImage/twitterImage URLs, then feed them to a URL status checker to catch 404s.

👥 Who uses it

SEO agencies auditing client sites · frontend developers debugging previews · growth and content marketers · QA teams running migration checks · tool builders generating link previews · competitive-intelligence analysts.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I bulk-audit OpenGraph tags for a list of URLs? Paste your URLs into startUrls and the inspector returns og:title, og:description, og:image, Twitter Card and JSON-LD tags per URL, so you can spot missing or broken tags in one spreadsheet.

How do I check why a link has no preview on Slack or LinkedIn? Run the URL through the inspector and review the extracted OpenGraph and Twitter Card fields to pinpoint the missing or malformed tag blocking the rich preview.

Does this render JavaScript? No — this Actor extracts meta tags from server-rendered HTML. For JavaScript SPAs that inject meta tags client-side, the tags may not appear; capture a visual preview with a screenshot tool instead.

Can it detect broken og:image URLs? It extracts the image URLs. You can then feed them to the Bulk URL Status Checker to verify which image URLs return 200 vs 404.

What's the difference between og:title and <title>? og:title is what Facebook/LinkedIn display; <title> is what Google shows in SERPs. They're often different — and tracking both is valuable, which is why the Actor returns both.

Can I extract only some tag groups? Yes. Toggle includeOG, includeTwitter, includeStructured and includeBasic independently to keep runs lean.

How many URLs can I process at once? Up to 1,000 URLs per run (maxUrls), inspected over pure HTTP.

How do I export the meta-tag data to CSV or JSON? Run the Actor and download the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel or HTML from the Output tab, or pull it via the Apify API — one row per URL.

Is it legal to extract this data? The Actor reads only publicly served HTML markup — the same tags any social platform's crawler reads. You are responsible for inspecting only URLs you're authorized to audit and for complying with applicable terms and laws.
