Microlink.io

Verified Jul 2026

Microlink renders any URL headlessly and extracts structured metadata — title, description, images, video, and Open Graph/Twitter Card data — plus optional screenshots and PDFs, all from a single GET request. A live keyless call to api.microlink.io succeeds on the free tier (confirmed by an `x-pricing-plan: free` response header) and returns a wildcard Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
