Extract Facebook Open Graph Metadata from Any URL

When you share a link on Facebook, it reads Open Graph (OG) tags to generate the preview card. MetaPeek lets you extract these exact tags from any URL with a single API call -- so you can see how links will appear on Facebook before sharing them, build link preview features, or audit your own site's social metadata.

What Facebook OG Tags Does MetaPeek Extract?

og:title

The title shown in the Facebook share card

og:description

The description text below the title

og:image

The preview image (1200x630px recommended)

og:url

The canonical URL Facebook will use

og:type

Content type (website, article, product, etc.)

og:site_name

The website/brand name
