Microlink SDK
Microlink SDK provides a Node.js and browser package for screenshots, PDFs, metadata, scraping, and search through its API.
About Microlink SDK
Microlink SDK (microlink.io) is a client for the Microlink API that exposes each product as a method on a createClient() instance. It covers screenshots, PDFs, metadata, page conversion to Markdown, HTML and text, scraping, search, custom extraction, and collection of links, images, videos, audio and emails in Node.js, browsers, and Deno.
It builds on @microlink/mql for HTTP, authentication, retries, errors, and binary handling, and uses the same authentication, errors, and response shape across methods. No API key is needed to start, but a key is required for search and pro quotas. The package returns data and hosted assets with no UI attached.

Microlink SDK FAQ
What is microlink.io?
The official SDK for the Microlink API, with one method per product so you call microlink.screenshot(url) instead of composing query strings.
How is it different from @microlink/mql?
It is a semantic layer over @microlink/mql, which handles HTTP, authentication, retries, errors, and binary handling, while each method sets API parameters and unwraps the result.
What happened to the previous Microlink SDK?
The previous SDK was a UI component for link previews in React, Vue, or vanilla JavaScript. It still works but is no longer maintained; this package returns data and assets with no UI.
