The API returns a JSON object containing the website's title, description, and image etc.\n\nFor example, to retrieve the metadata for https://www.theverge.com, you would make the following request:\n\nhttps://web-scrapper-coral.vercel.app/api/read_url_meta?url=https://www.theverge.com\n\nProject Setup\nTo set up the project, follow these steps:\n\n- Clone the repository to your local machine.\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/TheAlphamerc/web-scrapper\n```\n\n- Change into the project directory.\n``` bash\n cd web-scrapper \n```\n\n- Create a virtual environment and activate it.\n``` bash\npython3 -m venv venv\n```\n\n`source venv/bin/activate\n\n- Install the project dependencies.\n``` bash\npip install -r requirements.txt\n```\n\n- Setup the development environment by running these commands in your terminal.\n ``` bash\nexport FLASK_APP=index.py\nexport FLASK_ENV=development\n```\n\n- Run the Flask development server.\n``` bash\npython app.py\n```\n\nThe API will be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/read_url_meta?url={website_url}.\n\nContributing\nContributions to the project are welcome.
