What is it?

When you paste a link into Coda you can choose how to display it, including as a card:
The image, title, and description come from metadata hidden within the HTML code of the web page. The card view shown above is great, but what if you want to break it apart and access the individual pieces of data?
Well now you can, using the . Once installed, simply use the formula =WebPageMetadata(url) to load a rich object filled with the metadata extracted from that page.
For example:
=WebPageMetadata("https://coda.io").Description
