Website URL to Metadata

This project is a web scraping tool designed to extract metadata from websites. It uses libraries like Axios for HTTP requests, Cheerio for HTML parsing, and Apify SDK for actor management. The scraper can fetch metadata such as titles, descriptions, social media links, and more from a webpage.

Features

• Fetches metadata from a given URL.
• Supports custom user-agent strings.
• Respects robots.txt rules unless explicitly ignored.
• Extracts social media links and contact information.
• Extracts external links.

Usage

1. Prepare the input:

It should include at least the url field.

1{
2  "url": "https://example.com",
3  "language": "en-US",
4  "ignoreRobots": false,
5  "ignoreExternalLinks": false,
6  "ignoreInteralLinks": false
7}

2. Output:

   1{
   2  "title": "Example Domain",
   3  "description": "This domain is for use in illustrative examples in documents.",
   4  "keywords": "example, domain, illustrative, examples, documents",
   5  "image": "https://example.com/image.png",
   6  "facebook": "https://facebook.com/example",
   7  "x": "https://twitter.com/example",
   8  "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/example",
   9  "instagram": "https://instagram.com/example",
   10  "youtube": "https://youtube.com/example",
   11 "trustpilot": "https://trustpilot.com/review/example.com",
   12  "canonical": "https://example.com",
   13  "url_fetched": "https://example.com",
   14  "url": "https://example.com",
   15  "mail": "contact@example.com",
   16  "robotsAllow": true,
   17  "linksExternal": ["https://example.com/external1", "https://example.com/external2"],

   19}
   

Configuration

• User-Agent: The scraper uses a random user-agent string for each request to mimic a real browser.
• Language: You can specify the Accept-Language header in the input payload.
• Robots.txt: By default, the scraper respects robots.txt rules. Set ignoreRobots to true in the input payload to bypass this.
• External Links: By default, the scraper extracts external links. Set ignoreExternalLinks to true in the input payload to bypass this.
• Internal Links: By default, the scraper extracts internal links. Set ignoreInternalLinks to true in the input payload to bypass this.
