$ pip install link-previewer

Usage

>>> from previewer import get_preview
>>> url = "https://youtube.com"

{'title': 'YouTube', 'description': 'Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.', 'url': 'www.youtube.com', 'img_url': 'https://www.youtube.com/img/desktop/yt_1200.png'}
