About Meta Tags Scraper

Ever needed to quickly check what a site's meta tags look like, or pull them for a whole batch of pages? That's exactly what this Meta Tags Scraper is for. It's a straightforward actor that visits the URLs you give it and extracts the core metadata—titles, descriptions, Open Graph tags for social sharing, Twitter Cards, and more. I use it all the time for SEO audits and competitive research to see how other sites structure their snippets. It saves you the headache of manually inspecting page sources or writing a one-off script. Just feed it a list, and it returns clean, structured JSON data you can plug into your analysis. It's perfect for developers building SEO dashboards, marketers tracking SERP appearance, or anyone who needs to verify or collect this foundational web data at scale. The setup is minimal, and it runs reliably on Apify's infrastructure, so you can scrape thousands of pages without worrying about your own IP getting blocked. If you work with websites, having this in your toolkit is a no-brainer.
