    console.error({ error });
  }
})();

Output Example

The output of metaOG is an object containing the fetched Open Graph data:

{

  "og:description": "Application Developer and Freelance Web Developer",

  //others....
}

Key Features

Lightweight: Simple and easy to integrate with any Node.js or web application.
