Link Preview

Metadata from any URL, instantly

Link Preview pulls structured metadata from any URL in seconds — title, description, Open Graph image, author, publisher, publication date, language, and site logo. It's the fastest way to understand what a URL contains without loading the full page or running a heavyweight scrape.

When you're processing lists of URLs, building link cards, validating social previews, or enriching bookmarks, you don't need the full page content — you just need the metadata. This tool gives you exactly that, clean and structured, ready to use in summaries, link cards, or further processing.

What you can do

  • preview_url — extract title, description, image, author, publisher, date, language, and logo from any URL

Who it's for

Developers building link card components or bookmark enrichment pipelines. Agents that process URL lists and need quick summaries before deciding which ones to follow up on. Content teams validating that pages have proper Open Graph metadata before sharing.

How to use it

  1. Pass any full URL (including the https://) to preview_url
  2. The image_url field returns the Open Graph or Twitter Card image — useful for link cards
  3. Use published_date and author when summarizing article links
  4. If you need the full page body text or headings, use a web scraping tool instead — this is for metadata only
