Various embodiments enable an application to obtain information associated with a link to content without navigating to the link. The application can be configured to identify a link, receive input to attain information associated with the link, and send a request to a service for the information. In one or more embodiments, a service can be configured to receive a request for information associated with a link, ascertain one or more sources from which to gather the information, determine appropriate mechanisms by which to obtain the information, and acquire the information. Alternately or additionally, the service can further assemble the information into a consumable format, and return the consumable format to a requesting application or device. |

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, at a device, a request from at least a second device for information associated with a link to content, the request including the link to content; responsive to receiving the request, ascertaining, at the device, one or more sources from which to obtain the information wherein at least one of the one or more sources is associated with an address other than an address to which the link points;
sending, from the device, at least one request to the one or more sources for the information; receiving, at the device, the information from at least one of the one or more sources; generating, at the device, at least one response including at least some of the information in a consumable format, wherein said generating at least one response includes an ability to:
identify at least one service object contained within the information; and add, within the at least one response, one or more properties associated with the at least one service object, and wherein the consumable format comprises JavaScript Object Notation (JSON); and
returning, from the device, the at least one or more response to the at least second device, wherein the device is remote from the at least second device. |
