Website previews and metadata
With FilePreviews.io not only can you generate thumbnail previews and extract data from any file, but you can do so for any website.
We recently introduced the “webpage” metadata option which will extract data from meta tags, like it’s title, description, keywords, image and video URLs for a given website. We also include oEmbed data for websites that include them like YouTube, Vine, SpeakerDeck, and Instagram.
Here’s an example response for a post on Vine.
