I'm building a control that is similar to posting a link on facebook. (In javascript) Every time a link is shared, I want to fetch the details just like the way facebook fetches info for that link. For example (look at the link below), when I typed www.bbc.com, facebook automatically fetched BBC logo, and some summary information and also the images on bbc home page.

enter image description here

Is there any library that helps me do that in a simple way? I want to build similar control for my own site.

Any suggestions are welcome.

    What serverside language are you using? You need that to get the content since JavaScript can not access it. Commented Jan 7, 2012 at 0:46
