Extract Metadata from Any Website Using Website URL to Metadata
Ever needed to quickly grab metadata from a webpage — like the title, description, social links, or contact info — without digging through HTML? Our Website Metadata Extractor API does just that. It gives you a structured overview of a webpage’s key information with a single HTTP request.
In this article, we’ll give you a quick overview of what it does, why it’s useful, and how to use it with minimal setup.
What Can You Do With This API?
Every website hides a treasure trove of metadata that’s critical for SEO tools, lead enrichment, scraping, and automation. With one API call, you can extract:
- SEO tags: title, description, canonical, keywords
- Open Graph and Twitter Card data
- Links to social media profiles (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook…)
- Emails and phone numbers detected on the page
- Internal and external links
- Technical metadata (redirects, HTTPS status, load time, etc.)
Great for building:
- Automated SEO auditing tools
- Company profile enrichment
- Contact discovery engines
- Marketing dashboards and lead intelligence tools
How It Works (Simple Overview)
The main endpoint accepts a URL and returns structured JSON metadata.
Here’s a basic cURL example:
curl -X POST "https://website-url-to-metadata.p.rapidapi.com/" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-RapidAPI-Host: your-assigned-host" \
-H "X-RapidAPI-Key: your-api-key" \
-d '{
"url": "https://example.com"
}'
Using Node.js:
import axios from 'axios';
const response = await axios.post('https://website-url-to-metadata.p.rapidapi.com/', {
url: 'https://example.com'
}, {
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-RapidAPI-Host': 'your-assigned-host',
'X-RapidAPI-Key': 'your-api-key'
}
});
console.log(response.data);
Using Python:
import requests
url = "https://website-url-to-metadata.p.rapidapi.com/"
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"X-RapidAPI-Host": "your-assigned-host",
"X-RapidAPI-Key": "your-api-key"
}
data = {"url": "https://example.com"}
response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
print(response.json())
