metadata_fetch 0.2.2

A dart library for extracting metadata on web pages such as OpenGraph, Meta, and Structured Data (Json-LD)

Metadata Fetch

A dart library for extracting metadata in web pages. Supports OpenGraph, Meta, and Structured Data (Json-LD)

Usage

Extract Metadata for a given URL

import 'package:metadata_fetch/metadata_fetch.dart';

main() async {
  var data = extract("https://flutter.dev/"); // Use the extract() function to fetch data from the url

  print(data.title) // Flutter - Beautiful native apps in record time

  print(data.description) // Flutter is Google's UI toolkit for crafting beautiful...

  print(data.image) // https://flutter.dev/images/flutter-logo-sharing.png

  var dataAsMap = data.toMap();

}

Parsing Manually

Get aggregated Metadata from a document

import 'package:metadata_fetch/metadata_fetch.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

void main () async {

  // Makes a call
  var response = await http.get('https://flutter.dev');

  // Covert Response to a Document. The utility function `responseToDocument` is provided or you can use own decoder/parser.
  var document = responseToDocument(response);


  // get metadata
  var data = MetadataParser.parse(document);
  print(data);


}

Get Open Graph Metadata

import 'package:metadata_fetch/metadata_fetch.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

void main () async {

  // Makes a call
  var response = await http.get('https://flutter.dev');

  // Covert Response to a Document. The utility function `responseToDocument` is provided or you can use own decoder/parser.
  var document = responseToDocument(response);


  // get metadata
  var data = MetadataParser.OpenGraph(document);
  print(data);


}

Get Html Metadata

import 'package:metadata_fetch/metadata_fetch.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

void main () async {

  // Makes a call
  var response = await http.get('https://flutter.dev');

  // Covert Response to a Document. The utility function `responseToDocument` is provided or you can use own decoder/parser.
  var document = responseToDocument(response);


  // get metadata
  var data = MetadataParser.HtmlMeta(document);
  print(data);
}

Get Structured Data (Json+LD)

import 'package:metadata_fetch/metadata_fetch.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

void main () async {

  // Makes a call
  var response = await http.get('https://flutter.dev');

  // Covert Response to a Document. The utility function `responseToDocument` is provided or you can use own decoder/parser.
  var document = responseToDocument(response);


  // Just Json-ld schema
  var data = MetadataParser.JsonLdSchema(document);
  print(data);
}

No Errors, Only Nulls

import 'package:metadata_fetch/metadata_fetch.dart';

main() async {
  var data = await extract("https://invalid*broken_url/");
  print(data) // null
}

Credit

This library is inspired by open_graph_parser. However this one tries to be more general.

Roadmap

• Improve Documentation
• Implement json-ld parser for schema metadata.
