What is Open Graph Scraper?

Every time a link is shared on Slack, LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp or iMessage, the preview comes from a few meta tags: og:title, og:description and og:image. When they are missing or the image is broken, the link looks like spam. Open Graph Scraper reads those tags for any list of URLs, checks that the preview image actually loads, and scores each page, so you can build link previews in your own app or audit thousands of pages for share-readiness in minutes.

What does it do?

• All Open Graph tags: title, description, image (+alt, width, height), type, site name, URL, locale, video, plus the full og:* map
• Twitter Card tags: card type, site, creator, title, description, image
• Core SEO meta: title, meta description, canonical, language, theme colour, favicon
• Rich data hints: oEmbed endpoint and JSON-LD schema types (Article, Product, Organization…)
• Preview score & missing tags: what a share preview is missing
• Image check (on by default): confirms og:image loads and is really an image, with type and size
• Fast: plain HTTP, 8 URLs in parallel, no browser

Why choose us over cheaper scrapers?

• Honest output: limits are documented, missing data is labeled, never invented
• Clean, consistent schema ready for Excel, Sheets, BI tools or an LLM
• No account risk: no logins, no cookies, no API keys
• Pay per result with a built-in cost guard; no subscription, failed items are never charged

Who is it for?

• SEO & social teams: audit sites for missing or broken share previews
• Publishers: check every article has a working image before promotion
• Marketers: QA campaign landing pages before launch
• Data teams: enrich URL lists with titles, descriptions and images
• AI agents: fetch a quick summary card for any link

How to use it

In Apify Console (no code)

1. Click Try for free / Start. The form is prefilled with a working example.
2. Change the inputs (see examples below).
3. Click Start, then export the results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or open them in Google Sheets.
4. Optional: Schedule the actor to run hourly, daily or weekly.

Via API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/intelscrape~open-graph-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"urls": ["https://stripe.com", "https://github.com/apify/crawlee", "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"], "checkImages": true}'

Or use the official Apify JavaScript and Python clients:

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("intelscrape/open-graph-scraper").call(run_input={"urls": ["https://stripe.com", "https://github.com/apify/crawlee", "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"], "checkImages": true})
for item in client.dataset(run["default_dataset_id"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

With AI agents (MCP)

Add Apify's MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com) or the IntelScrape MCP Server to Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT or any MCP client, then ask in plain language, e.g. "Run intelscrape/open-graph-scraper with the default input and summarise the results."

Pricing (pay per event)

Event	When it is charged	Price
Actor start	once per run	$0.005
URL	per URL parsed	$0.001
Image check	per URL whose og:image is checked (on by default; turn off to skip)	$0.0005

Cost examples

Run	Cost
Default run: 3 URLs	$0.0095
1,000 URLs with image check	$1.505
10,000 URLs, metadata only	$10.005

Platform usage is included in these prices. Set Max charge per run in the run options to cap spend; the actor stops cleanly when the limit is reached and keeps everything collected so far.

Tips for best results

• Turn off image checks for the cheapest bulk metadata pass.
• Sort by previewScore to find pages that share badly.
• Pages that build their tags with JavaScript only (rare) need a browser; use our Website to PDF actor's text output instead.
• Results reflect what social networks see: they also read raw HTML.

FAQ

Does it render JavaScript?

No, and that is deliberate: Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack and X read the raw HTML too, so this shows exactly what they see.

What is the preview score?

100 minus points for each missing core tag (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type, twitter:card), title and meta description.

Are failed URLs charged?

No. Pages that fail to load or are not HTML are listed with the error and not charged.

Does it follow redirects?

Yes, and finalUrl shows where the page ended up.

Can I use it as a link-unfurl API?

Yes. Call it through the Apify API or MCP with one or many URLs.

Do I need an API key?

No.

Honest limits

• JavaScript-only tags are not seen (same as social networks).
• Some sites block cloud servers; the actor retries through a proxy automatically.
• Image size comes from headers and may be missing for some CDNs.
• Only the first 3 MB of each page is parsed.
