Why Developers Use MetaPeek for Social Metadata

🛡️ No API Keys Per Platform

Instagram's official API requires app review. Twitter's API costs $100/mo. MetaPeek extracts public metadata from any platform with one key.

🔗 Build Link Previews

Show rich previews of social media links in your app, just like Slack, Discord, or iMessage do. Title, image, description -- all from one call.

📊 Monitor Social Mentions

Track how URLs appear when shared across social platforms. Detect missing images, wrong descriptions, or broken previews.
