In plain words

Link Preview API is a developer tool that extracts and displays metadata from URLs, allowing developers to unfurl or expand links with information like titles, descriptions, and images.

The API simplifies the process of parsing web content and presenting it in a user-friendly format without requiring manual content extraction.
