Page Metadata $0.002 / call
Title, description, Open Graph, canonical, favicon.
GET /v1/metaReads just the page head and returns its identity card: title, meta description, Open Graph and Twitter-card fields, canonical URL, favicon, and language. Cheaper than a full extract when you only need to know what a page is, not read it.
Parameters
url required | Public http(s) URL to inspect |
Example
macOS / Linuxcurl -s "https://quartermaster.surewhynot.app/v1/meta?url=https://example.com"curl.exe -s "https://quartermaster.surewhynot.app/v1/meta?url=https://example.com"Unpaid, these return 402 Payment Required with the payment details in the header (add -i to see them). curl.exe ships with Windows 10+ and works in cmd and both PowerShell versions. To actually pay, use an x402 client (see Connect) or call it as the MCP tool. Cost: $0.002 per call.
FAQ
When should I use this instead of /v1/extract?
Use meta for link previews, deduplication, or identifying a page; use extract when you need the actual article text.
How do I pay for this endpoint?
Call it with no payment and you receive HTTP 402 with machine-readable payment requirements. Attach a USDC payment on Base with any x402 client (for example @x402/fetch) and retry — the whole loop is two requests. This call costs $0.002 in USDC.
Do I need an account or API key?
No. There are no accounts, logins, or API keys anywhere in Quartermaster. Payment is per call over the x402 protocol; your wallet is your identity.
Can I call this as an MCP tool instead?
Yes. Quartermaster is also an MCP server at /mcp, so any MCP client (Claude Code, Claude.ai, Cursor) can mount this tool. See /connect for setup.
