What is the Web Page Fetcher?
True Anthem uses a web page fetcher to automatically collect and ingest your website’s metadata. This ensures that when we post your content to social media, we have the most up-to-date information available.
How the Fetcher works.
- The fetcher requests your web page’s pre-rendered version.
- It reads the HTML content to extract metadata like titles, descriptions, and images.
- This metadata is then used within the True Anthem platform to recommend and automate social media posts.
How to Identify the Fetcher.
The fetcher (sometimes called a "robot") identifies itself using a user-agent string, which is a small piece of text included in web requests.
True Anthem’s user-agent string is:
If you need to verify whether a request is coming from True Anthem, you can check your web server logs for this user-agent string.
Common Questions & Troubleshooting
Why isn’t True Anthem fetching the correct metadata?
- Ensure your webpage has Open Graph (OG) and Twitter meta tags properly set.
- Verify that your page is publicly accessible and not blocked by robots.txt or firewalls.
Can I block the fetcher?
- Yes, but blocking it may prevent automated posting and recommendations from working properly.
