## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Open Graph & Meta Tag Extractor

Pull **link-preview metadata** from any URL in bulk — the exact tags that power social cards, previews and SEO tools. Get Open Graph, Twitter Card, title, description, canonical, favicon and language in clean JSON.

### What you get

- ✅ **Open Graph** — `og:title`, `og:description`, `og:image`, `og:type`, `og:site_name`, `og:url`
- ✅ **Twitter Card** — `twitter:card`, `twitter:title`, `twitter:image`
- ✅ **Page basics** — `<title>`, meta description, `canonical`, `lang`
- ✅ **Favicon** — resolved to an absolute URL
- ✅ **Raw dumps** — full `og_all` and `twitter_all` objects, nothing hidden
- ✅ **Bulk-ready** — extract from hundreds of URLs in one run
- ✅ **No API key, no proxy** — just paste your links and run

### Input

```json
{ "urls": ["https://apify.com", "https://github.com"] }
```

### Output (per URL)

```json
{
  "url": "https://apify.com",
  "title": "Apify: Full-stack web scraping and data extraction platform",
  "description": "Cloud platform for web scraping...",

### Use cases

- 🔗 **Link-preview cards** — build rich previews for chats, CMS and dashboards

- 📣 **Social tools** — validate how a page will look when shared on X, Facebook, LinkedIn
- 🧹 **Content pipelines** — enrich URLs with clean metadata

### FAQ

**Do I need an API key or proxy?** No — just paste your URLs and run.
**Can it process many URLs at once?** Yes, it works in bulk and in parallel.
**What if a tag is missing on the page?** The field comes back as `null`, so your pipeline stays consistent.

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "urls": [
        "https://apify.com",
        "github.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("bgfc97/opengraph-meta-extractor").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "urls": [
    "https://apify.com",
    "github.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call bgfc97/opengraph-meta-extractor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,bgfc97/opengraph-meta-extractor"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
