Link Preview in sharing app. Can I use an API?

I’m building a social app where users can post pics, text, etc. I want to implement a way to share external news stories by pasting a link.

I want to be able to pull in a link preview (like you see in every social app). Is there a way to do this in Adalo?

I am using the webview component with conditional visibility (when link is present). But it pulls in a full webpage instead of a preview.

I found an API that I can possibly use (https://www.linkpreview.net/) but I’m unsure if it will work.

Any thoughts?

Here is a thread where someone tried something similar: Fetch website data
