Node.js API Example for Meta, DNS, and Screenshot

Using the axios (opens in a new tab) package from NPM, we can call the URL Meta API like this:

const axios = require("axios")
const authKey = "YOUR_AUTH_KEY" // your auth key from dashboard
const targetURL = "https://backupdiary.com"
 
axios
  // to get the DNS records, change the URL to https://api.urlmeta.org/dns?domain=backupdiary.com
  // for screenshot, change the URL to https://api.urlmeta.org/screenshot?url=https://backupdiary.com
 
  .get(`https://api.urlmeta.org/meta?url=${encodeURIComponent(targetURL)}`, {
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Basic ${authKey}`,
    },
  })
  .then((response) => {
    const data = response.data
    if (data.result.status == "OK") {
      console.log(data)
    } else {
      console.log("URL Meta error:", data.result.reason)
    }
  })
  .catch((err) => console.log(err))

Render image from HTML or SVG

const axios = require("axios")
const authKey = "YOUR_AUTH_KEY" // your auth key from dashboard
 
const svgString = "<svg xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\"><rect width=\"300\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(0,0,255);stroke-width:1;stroke:rgb(0,0,0)\" /></svg>" // just a blue rectangle
 
axios({
  method: "post",
  url: `https://api.urlmeta.org/render?format=svg`,
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Basic ${authKey}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/xml",
  },
  data: svgString,
})
  .then((response) => {
    const data = response.data
    if (data.result.status == "OK") {
      console.log(data)
    } else {
      console.log("URL Meta error:", data.result.reason)
    }
  })
  .catch((err) => console.log(err))
