Github stars

Actions Status

Installation

npm install metaget --save

Usage

Promise:

const metaget = require('metaget');
try{
    const metaResponse = await metaget.fetch('https://wordpress.com');
    console.log('metaResponse', metaResponse);
}catch(ex){
    console.log('Fail', ex);
}

Callback:

const metaget = require('metaget');
metaget.fetch('https://wordpress.com', (err, metaResponse) => {
    if(err){
        console.log(err);
    }else{
        console.log(metaResponse);
    }
});

Response will be an Object containing all the meta tags from the URL. All tags are output in the example above. Some tags with illegal characters can be accessed by:

metaResponse['og:title'];

Options

It's possible to set any HTTP headers in the request. This can be done by specifying them as options in the call. If no options are provided the only default header is a User-Agent of "request".

This is how you would specify a "User-Agent" of a Google Bot:

try{
    const metaResponse = await metaget.fetch('https://wordpress.com', { headers: { 'User-Agent': 'Googlebot' } });
    console.log('metaResponse', metaResponse);
}catch(ex){
    console.log('Fail', ex);
}
