01 / BEHIND THE LINK
AdsCrawl Link Preview extracts Open Graph and webpage metadata into structured fields your application can use. Explore the result in the console with five card styles—Hero, Inline, Notification, WhatsApp and Tweet—or use the URL metadata API to build previews in your own product. A recognizable image and a clear summary give a shared link context before someone opens it.
Paste the website or page you want to preview. Choose a proxy region and, when needed, an access language; Global uses a random exit across supported regions.
Collect Open Graph and webpage metadata such as the title, description, cover image and logo. Review the structured result before adding it to your workflow.
Try the five preview styles in the console, then use the API data to render a card in your application. Copy or download the JSON when you need the result outside the console.
Open Graph gives a webpage shareable details such as a title, description and cover image. Link Preview organizes available metadata into JSON so your product can choose what to display and how to present it.
02 / BUILT INTO EVERYDAY WORKFLOWS
Automate the work that comes after pasting a URL. Turn links into content people can browse, recognize and reuse inside your product.
Use a submitted URL to prefill a site's title, description, cover and logo. Let an editor review the entry before publishing it to your product directory or resource library.
Less repetitive data entry. A more consistent catalog.
Show a rich link card when someone shares a URL in your messaging or collaboration app. The image and summary help teammates decide what to open without breaking the conversation.
Clearer handoffs and easier conversations around links.
Bring title, description and Open Graph image data into your own share composer or editorial tool. Use a hero-style preview to review the content before your team publishes a link.
Catch missing images and unclear summaries before publication.
Attach recognizable website information to saved articles, company records and research collections. Keep the original URL alongside a readable title, summary and source identity.
Make saved information easier to scan, revisit and organize.
In your own app, call the API when someone pastes a link and render a card from the response. External platforms such as WhatsApp and X generate previews using their own fetching, caching and display rules.
03 / STRUCTURED OUTPUT
Inspect, copy or download the raw JSON in the console, or connect the API to your website directory, content library and card components.

05 / FAQ
It returns structured URL metadata: url, title, description, image, logo, publisher, author, date and lang. Your application can use those fields to build rich link previews, prefill website entries or enrich saved links.
No. The image field contains a cover or preview image reference extracted from the webpage metadata. It does not capture the page as it appears on screen. Use a website screenshot workflow when you need an image of the rendered page.
The console offers Hero, Inline, Notification, WhatsApp and Tweet previews. These are ways to inspect the same metadata in different layouts. The API provides the fields for you to render cards that fit your own application.
Yes. The access-language setting adds an optional locale code, such as en for English. When a matching hreflang page is available, it is tried; otherwise the original page is returned. Omit locale to use the default. This selects a page language rather than translating its content.
A website's metadata may be incomplete, outdated or inconsistent. Some fields, such as author, can be empty. Review the preview and raw JSON, and let your application provide fallbacks or editorial corrections where needed.
The console styles help you review how a card can look. Third-party platforms fetch, cache and crop previews independently, so their final display may differ. AdsCrawl provides metadata for your integration; it does not post the link to those platforms or control their previews.
