}

}

success — uploading status. 1 for successful, 0 for failed

meta — link fetched data.

{

"success" : 1,

"meta": {

"title" : "CodeX Team",

"description" : "Club of web-development, design and marketing. We build team learning how to build full-valued projects on the world market.",

"image" : {
