Why Your App Needs Secure Link Previews—Beyond Just UX

Clicking a URL can lead users to valuable content or expose them to malware and phishing scams. Traditional link sharing depends on user trust, which can be risky.

Secure web link previews provide metadata like titles, descriptions, and images—plus scan links for reported malicious activity. This lets users decide if a link is safe before clicking.

ApyHub’s Link Preview API makes it easy to add this layer of security and improve user experience by showing rich content previews while protecting against threats.

This tutorial demonstrates how to integrate the API using Node.js to fetch metadata and perform safety checks in real time.

How are you protecting your users from malicious links—and could secure previews be part of your solution?
