Quickstart

Get from zero to your first metadata extraction in a few minutes.

1. Get an API key

Fetchmeta keys are managed from the Zindle dashboard. Sign in, open the Fetchmeta tab under API Keys, and create a key. Your key is shown once at creation — copy it immediately and store it securely. It looks like:

fm_live_a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6

2. Make a request

Pass the key in the X-API-Key header and the target URL as a query parameter:

curl "https://fetchmeta.zindle.com.au/v1/fetch?url=https://www.wikipedia.org" \
  -H "X-API-Key: fm_live_your_key_here"

3. Read the response

{
  "title": "Wikipedia",
  "description": "Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia, created and edited by volunteers around the world.",
  "og_title": "Wikipedia",
  "og_description": "Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia, created and edited by volunteers around the world.",
  "og_image": "https://www.wikipedia.org/portal/wikipedia.org/assets/img/Wikipedia-logo-v2.png",
  "og_url": "https://www.wikipedia.org/",
  "canonical_url": "https://www.wikipedia.org/",
  "favicon_url": "https://www.wikipedia.org/static/favicon/wikipedia.ico"
}

Any field that the page doesn't provide is returned as null rather than omitted, so your response shape is always consistent.

Code examples

Python

import httpx

resp = httpx.get(
    "https://fetchmeta.zindle.com.au/v1/fetch",
    params={"url": "https://www.wikipedia.org"},
    headers={"X-API-Key": "fm_live_your_key_here"},
)
data = resp.json()
print(data["title"])

JavaScript

const resp = await fetch(
  "https://fetchmeta.zindle.com.au/v1/fetch?url=" +
    encodeURIComponent("https://www.wikipedia.org"),
  { headers: { "X-API-Key": "fm_live_your_key_here" } }
);
const data = await resp.json();
console.log(data.title);

Node.js (axios)

const axios = require("axios");

const { data } = await axios.get("https://fetchmeta.zindle.com.au/v1/fetch", {
  params: { url: "https://www.wikipedia.org" },
  headers: { "X-API-Key": "fm_live_your_key_here" },
});
console.log(data.title);
