URL Meta

URL Meta offers a variety of APIs for retrieving metadata from URLs and domains. With a single API call, you can retrieve meta tags like article authors, recipe ratings and prices. The service also can retrieve screenshots and DNS records.

The Meta API retrieves a wealth of meta information about a URL, including title, description, image, favicon, logo and more, without you having to scrape or parse the information yourself. The Screenshot API captures full-page images of websites, returning high-resolution PNG files. For DNS records, the API can retrieve all standard types (A, CNAME, BIMI, DMARC, MX, TXT, and so on) and offers very fast response times.

URL Meta is geared for developers and apps that use meta information, screenshots or DNS records. That can include content aggregation, SEO analysis and domain monitoring.

Pricing plans are simple:

• Free: 500 requests per month, viewport-only image screenshots, general meta tags, no credit card required.
• Premium Package: $9 per month, 25,000 requests, rich meta information, full-page image screenshots, priority support.

All the APIs require an API key for authentication. You can sign up to obtain your free API key from the dashboard. For full details on using the APIs, including query parameters and response schema, check the URL Meta website documentation.
