wet

Grabbing metadata from webpages

For lagancy version without phantomjs see branch 0.0.x

New Branch 0.1.x with phantomjs & node-phantom-simple

Currently it gets slower (WIP), because:

• Page rendered in phantomjs
• Browser has to be created
• Extra 5s delay is given to load

# Use in terminal
$ npm i -g wet
$ wet https://www.baidu.com  # okay
$ wet https://baidu.com      # also
$ wet http://baidu.com       # also
$ wet //baidu.com            # also
$ wet baidu.com              # also

// Use in node.js
var wet = require('wet')
wet('www.baidu.com', function(err, meta){
  console.log(meta)
})

// The output
{ url: 'http://baidu.com',
  finalUrl: 'https://www.baidu.com/',
