How to generate social media previews with your AI

Connect the URL Metadata Scraper to your AI client, then just drop a link to get the assets you need for a post.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I use AI to grab social media preview data?

Your AI uses the scrape_url tool to pull OpenGraph tags directly from a webpage. It extracts the specific images and descriptions used for social sharing so you can build posts without manual copying. You'll get the exact assets needed for your feed.

The results you get.

Social assets ready to use.

This task turns raw URLs into structured social media assets.

ASSETS

Ready-to-use images

The AI pulls the exact OpenGraph image linked to the page. You get the direct URL for the visual you'll actually see in a feed.

TEXT

Clean descriptions

It grabs the meta description and title intended for social sharing. This gives you the exact copy the site owner wants people to see.

DRAFTS

Social post drafts

Your agent combines the scraped data with your instructions. You end up with a full post ready for a platform like X or LinkedIn.

HUMAN

Final review

The AI provides the raw data and the drafts. You decide if the tone is right or if the image looks good before you hit post.

The workflow

What your AI does when a link arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of reading the site's code so you don't have to.

  1. Fetch site data

    The AI visits the link you provided to look at the underlying HTML.

    scrape_url

  2. Extract metadata

    It hunts for specific OpenGraph tags like og:image and og:description.

    scrape_url

  3. Organize assets

    The agent cleans up the scraped text and identifies the best image URL.

    scrape_url

  4. Write the post

    Your agent uses the extracted info to write a caption for your social channel.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change the image on the website?

    No. The AI only reads the existing OpenGraph data. It cannot modify the website or its metadata.

  • 02

    Does the AI post directly to my social media accounts?

    No. The AI generates the text and finds the image URL, but you must perform the actual posting yourself.

  • 03

    What happens if a website doesn't have OpenGraph tags?

    If the tags are missing, the scrape_url tool won't find the specific social assets, and your AI will tell you it couldn't find them.

  • 04

    Can I use this to scrape any website?

    Yes, as long as the website is publicly accessible and the scrape_url tool can reach it.

  • 05

    Will the AI save these images for me?

    No. The AI provides the image URL so you can download or use it, but it doesn't host or store the files.
