Fetch and parse OG tags and metadata from any URL, the fast way
Why
I wanted a way to quickly fetch OG tags from websites and get their title, description, icon and OG image. I found all existing solutions not to be ideal because:
- They had unnecessary dependencies, increasing bundle size
- They fetch the whole body of the website, increasing load time
fetch-meta-tags
solves those problems by:
- Having just two dependencies:
node-fetch
andnode-html-parser
. They are both very lightweight libraries and also very fast - Streaming websites and stopping the HTTP request once
</head>
is received. No need to fetch the whole HTML of the website
Installation
$ yarn add fetch-meta-tags
$ npm install --save fetch-meta-tags
Usage
import fetchMeta from 'fetch-meta-tags'
await fetchMeta('https://luisc.xyz')
Outputs:
{
url: 'https://luisc.xyz',
title: 'Luis Cuende',
description: 'Musings about modern philosophy, productivity and unbundling the nation state with crypto/Web3.',
icon: 'https://luisc.xyz/favicon.ico',
image: 'https://luisc.xyz/logo.jpg'
}
