URL Metadata, Open Graph & JSON-LD Extractor (Link Preview API)

Get everything a page says about itself — in one clean JSON row per URL. Title, meta description, Open Graph (og:title, og:image, og:type…), Twitter Card, favicon & apple-touch icon, canonical URL, language, robots, author and publish dates, RSS/Atom feeds, hreflang alternates, H1/H2 headings and JSON-LD structured data (Product, Article, Organization, Recipe, Event, FAQ…) with a list of schema.org types.

Plus ready-to-use previewTitle / previewDescription / previewImage fields for link previews (OG → Twitter → HTML fallbacks).

$0.70 per 1,000 URLs. Failed URLs are free. No browser, no start fee.

FAQ

Does it execute JavaScript? No. It reads the server-rendered HTML — which is exactly what social networks and chat apps read when they build link previews, so results match what users see when sharing.

Can I call it as an API? Yes — run it synchronously via the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) with a list of URLs and get JSON back.

What if a site blocks bots? The default user agent is a desktop browser. Heavily protected sites may still return an error row (free).
