Link Previews

Link Previews turn shared web addresses into rich Markdown cards using metadata the page already publishes.

Metadata

  • Open Graph title, description, image, URL, and site name
  • Twitter/X Card title, description, image, and URL fallbacks
  • Schema.org JSON-LD headline, description, image, publisher, and provider fallbacks
  • HTML title, description, and canonical URL fallbacks
  • oEmbed JSON discovered from page links or HTTP Link headers

Used By

RSS bots use Link Previews to post new feed items with a source label, linked title, optional preview image, and optional description.

The same shared extractor also powers URL title previews and can be reused by future chat link card features.

Safety

  • Only HTTP and HTTPS URLs are fetched
  • URLs with embedded credentials are refused
  • Private, local, documentation, benchmark, multicast, and reserved address ranges are blocked
  • Redirects and discovered oEmbed/image URLs are checked before use
  • Markdown images are sanitized, lazy-loaded, and rendered without referrer leakage
