Instructions
Step 1: Install the Plugin
Open your Bubble app.
Go to the Plugins tab.
Click Add plugins, search for “WGD URL Metadata Extractor” (or use your plugin install link).
Click Install.
Step 2: Create a UI for Input
Go to the Design tab.
Add an Input element for users to enter or paste a URL (e.g., urlInput).
Optionally add a Button labeled “Fetch Metadata”.
Add Text elements or an Image element where you’ll display the metadata (e.g., title, description, image).
Step 3: Set Up the Workflow
Go to the Workflow tab.
Create a new event:
When Button “Fetch Metadata” is clicked
Add an action:
Plugins → WGD URL Metadata Extractor
Step 4: Configure the Plugin Action
In the action step:
urls: Set this to the value from your input, like:
Input urlInput's value
This triggers the plugin to fetch and extract metadata from the entered URL.
Step 5: Use the Output
After the action runs, you can access the returned metadata fields in subsequent workflow steps or on the page.
The plugin returns:
metadata_single._p_title
metadata_single._p_description
metadata_single._p_author
metadata_single._p_date
metadata_single._p_image
metadata_single._p_logo
metadata_single._p_publisher
metadata_single._p_url
For example:
Set a Text element to:
Result of step 1 (WGD URL Metadata Extractor)'s metadata_single._p_title
Set an Image element’s dynamic source to:
Result of step 1's metadata_single._p_image
Step 6: Test
Preview your app.
Enter a URL and click the “Fetch Metadata” button.
Verify that the title, image, and other data are displayed correctly.
