Automatic fetch link content

Use lxml as XML parser:
Very recommended for better performance
from linkpreview import link_preview preview = link_preview("http://github.com/", parser="lxml") print("title:", preview.title) print("description:", preview.description) print("image:", preview.image) print("force_title:", preview.force_title) print("absolute_image:", preview.absolute_image)
