## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability aurenic-url-metadata-extractor-54270c79
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the title, description, and OG image from this URL — https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/15/openai-new-model/ — so I can use it for a link preview card?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, lightweight extraction of page title, description, and OG image from a URL without running a full browser or headless Chrome instance. It is ideal for generating link preview cards, enriching bookmarks or RSS feeds, or populating content metadata in pipelines. Prefer this over general web scraping endpoints when you only need the standard meta/OG tags and not full page content.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 HTTP status — metadata may be empty or error returned
- Page has no OG tags or meta description — some fields may be null or missing
- Invalid or malformed base64url encoding of the target URL — request fails with a 400-level error
- Target URL requires JavaScript rendering — static scrape may miss dynamically injected metadata
- Rate limiting or bot protection on the target site — scrape may be blocked
