Metadata Extractor API

Metadata Extractor is a website metadata extraction API that pulls HTML meta tags from any submitted URL, returning the page title, meta description, author, robots directives, and language. Paid tiers add Open Graph tags, JSON-LD schemas, and favicons.

The Metadata Extractor API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate metadata extractor functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready metadata extractor capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.

                'Content-Type': 'application/json'
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(requestBody)
        });

        const data = await response.json();
        console.log(data);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error:', error);
    }
}

callMetadataExtractorAPI();
