# unfurl

A kotlin library for generating link previews by extracting their [Twitter Card](https://developer.x.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/cards/guides/getting-started) and [Open Graph](https://ogp.me/) tags.

```groovy
implementation "me.saket.unfurl:unfurl:2.2.0"
```

```kotlin
val unfurler = Unfurler()
println(unfurler.unfurl("https://saket.me/great-teams-merge-fast/"))

UnfurlResult(
url = "https://saket.me/great-teams-merge-fast",
title = "Great teams merge fast",
description = "Observations from watching my team at Square produce stellar work while moving fast and not breaking things.",
favicon = "https://saket.me/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/cropped-saket-photo-180x180.jpg",
thumbnail = "https://saket.me/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/great_teams_merge_fast_cover.jpg"
)
```

`unfurl` is extensible. See [MastodonUnfurlerExtension](https://github.com/saket/unfurl/blob/0867097e4ac310605b8a789ae20518f9ad3a3f13/cli/src/main/kotlin/me/saket/unfurl/cmd/extensions/MastodonUnfurlerExtension.kt#L16) as an example for unfurling statuses that can't be HTML scraped.

```kotlin
val unfurler = Unfurler(
extensions = listOf(MastodonUnfurlerExtension(), ...)
)
```

### cli
```bash
$ brew install saket/repo/unfurl
$ unfurl https://saket.me/great-teams-merge-fast
```
