Populating your database by copying and pasting from websites is a waste of time. I used to use [linkpreview.net](http://linkpreview.net) for all my link preview needs, but it had spotty performance.

Now, Glide‘s newest integration with [Open Graph](https://www.glideapps.com/integrations/opengraph) automates the process of extracting data from any link directly to your database allowing you to create beautiful link previews instead of simply displaying boring hyperlinks!

Some of the immediate use cases include:

- grabbing file names from URLs,
- getting titles and descriptions from web articles
- extracting images from social media posts
- grabbing thumbnails from videos

With Open Graph, you can quickly populate hundreds of rows in your database in seconds.
