LinkPreview is a package that tries to receive meta information from given http(s) address

1. Add link_preview to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:link_preview, "~> 1.0"}
  ]
end

2. For Elixir < 1.4 ensure link_preview is started before your application:

def application do
  [applications: [:link_preview]]
end

You just need to execute:

LinkPreview.create("www.yahoo.pl")

in response you'll receive

{:ok, %LinkPreview.Page{
  description: "News, email and search are just the beginning. Discover more every day. Find your yodel.",
  images: [%{url: "https://s.yimg.com/dh/ap/default/130909/y_200_a.png"}],
  original_url: "www.yahoo.pl",
  title: "Yahoo",
  website_url: "yahoo.com"
}}
