verify-image-url

A package to check if a URL is an image URL or not and also get the valid image link from it

Install

$ npm i verify-image-url

Example

const { verifyImageURL } = require('verify-image-url');

await verifyImageURL('https://example.com/example.png');
// -> { isImage: true, imageURL: 'https://example.com/example.png' }

await verifyImageURL('https://example.com/example.png', { timeout: 10000 }); // Sets timeout to 10 seconds, default is 5

await verifyImageURL('https://prnt.sc/zrfn0r');
// -> { isImage: true, imageURL: 'https://image.prntscr.com/image/-ndZGuDMRfu7oDAR-fESzg.png' }
// This link is from og:image meta tag since prnt.sc is a site where you can upload screenshots and get the web page url from it which isn't your image link but it's in the meta tag

// Also works with SVGs
await verifyImageURL('https://example.com/example.svg', { allowSVG: true });
// -> { isImage: true, imageURL: 'https://example.com/example.svg' }

// You can also have it send to a proxy if you want
await verifyImageURL('https://example.com/example.png', { proxy: { url: 'https://proxy.example.com', auth: 'super secret auth' } });
// This sends a POST request to the provided proxy url with the JSON body `{ method: 'GET', url: 'url' }` that the proxy can use to send request and send back the response
