## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability forgemesh-link-preview-data-extractor-6ffdd12c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the link preview data for https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/15/some-article — I need the title, description, and thumbnail image so I can render a preview card in my chat app.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to render rich link preview cards in chat apps, bookmarking tools, or content aggregators without loading the full page client-side. It is distinct from full-page scrapers because it is scoped only to preview metadata, has SSRF protection built in, and enforces a 512KB cap for safety. Prefer this over general-purpose scrapers when you specifically need OG tags, Twitter Card metadata, title, description, and thumbnail for a single URL at a time.

## Known failure modes

- URL points to an internal or private network address (SSRF-blocked, returns error)
- Response body exceeds 512KB cap (truncated or error returned)
- Target page has no Open Graph or meta tags (sparse/empty result)
- URL is unreachable or returns non-200 HTTP status
- Malformed or invalid URL input (validation error)
- Target page blocks bots or crawlers (may return partial data or error)

## How this service works

Link preview data extraction: pulls the title, description, thumbnail image, and social-sharing tags from any public web page so you can render a rich preview card without loading the page yourself. Guarded against internal-network requests and capped at 512KB. For chat apps, bookmarking tools, and content aggregators building link previews.

## Output

Returns the page title, meta description, thumbnail/hero image URL, and social-sharing tags (Open Graph, Twitter Card) extracted from the target URL, enabling rich preview card rendering without loading the full page in the client.
