Most web pages have organic <meta>
data published using different semantics standards and optimized for different platforms. For example, oEmbed, Open Graph, Twitter Cards, core HTML meta for Google, Dublin Core, Parsely, Sailthru, etc.
Iframely merges various semantics into fields with unified consistent naming keys, so you can reliably use them in your app (if they are available, of course).
Example of meta
:
"meta": {
"title": "PARADISE BEACH",
"description": "Ilya Trushin",
"author_url": "http://coub.com/trucoubs",
"author": "Ilya Trushin",
"site": "Coub",
"canonical": "http://coub.com/view/2pc24rpb",
"keywords": "living photo, ... , media"
}
