fetch is not defined

[adnanafzal565]

Hello.

I am getting "fetch is not defined" on the following line:

const metadata = await urlMetadata(https://adnan-tech.com)

Any help is highly appreciated.

You're either in a Node or browser environment that doesn't have javascript fetch available. Try upgrading your environment, or you can use an earlier version of this package (version 2.5.0).

Thanks. Exactly. I was using Node version 14. I updated my Node version to 20. Now it works fine. Hope it helps someone.

One more reason I found is that there are some websites like facebook.com, and twitter.com, where fetch() or request() modules don't work. However, it worked on other sites.

Many of the big sites explicitly block scrapers like this intentionally.
