Facebook like link data extractor

Question

I'm seeking a lib that takes a URL and returns back useful information like:

• Title
• Description
• List of images

Anything around?

Answer 1

Yes. You can send ajax request to a php file which gets contents of the url using file_get_contents() function and returns it to ajax. Then we can extract whatever we want from this data response.

Try out the REST API links.preview method - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/links.preview/

You can also test out a few URLs to see if this is what you are looking for.
