Ask HN: Reliable scraper service that returns title, image, blurb for given url?

I found one which works most of the time and helps specially with the captchas, have you tried proxycrawl?

These chat services usually extract the info from OpenGraph tags: https://ogp.me/

I m not sure how doable it is to do it reliably. Some services, e.g. cloudflare block scrapers like cURL and redirect to a captcha page or enable javascript "Attention Required" page . It seems owners of these sites need to explicitly enable the scraper by IP! This pretty much precludes a link previewer from working reliably, and cloudflare is used by A LOT of sites these days
