Install the lxml and use it like this:
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)
print("site_name:", preview.site_name)
print("favicon:", preview.favicon)
print("absolute_favicon:", preview.absolute_favicon)
