Welcome to the Open Graph Web Scraper & API project, developed by a team of dedicated programmers. This project aims to simplify the process of extracting Open Graph data from websites by providing a user-friendly API and a showcase website.
This project was completed by a group of five individuals: Dylan Finlay, David He, Daniel Chenrui Zhang, Marcus Luong, and Varuni Gupta. Completed as a prototype for ShyftLabs, a software company in Toronto.
In a world of dynamic web content, extracting structured data can be a challenge. The Open Graph Web Scraper & API project solves this problem by offering a convenient way to access Open Graph tags from websites following the Open Graph Protocol.
- Web Scraper: Utilize a Python-based web scraper built with Beautiful Soup and Requests libraries to extract Open Graph tags.
- API: Access the web scraper functionality via an API, allowing you to retrieve Open Graph data with a simple GET request.
- Showcase Website: Explore the project's capabilities through a visually appealing React website, complete with documentation and usage examples.
The API allows you to easily extract Open Graph data from websites. Make a GET request to the following endpoint:
GET https://og-web-scraper-api.vercel.app/scrape?url=https://example.comReplace https://example.com with the URL of the website you want to scrape. The API will return a JSON response containing Open Graph data.
For detailed API documentation, please refer to API Documentation.
Explore the capabilities of the Open Graph Web Scraper & API by visiting our showcase website: Open Graph Web Scraper Home.
The showcase website is built using React and Tailwind CSS, providing an intuitive interface to interact with the API and learn more about its features.
