Fetch meta-tags from url only by jQuery

Question

Now a lot of scripts to facebook-style fetching data from url, but all of them work only in combination of jQuery and PHP. Is it possible to fetch url only by jQuery?

Answer 1

It's possible using CORS Anywhere:

$.get("https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/", function(data) {
    var meta = $(data).filter('meta[name="apple-itunes-app"]').attr("content");
    console.log(meta)
});

Used apple-itunes-app because it's an actual meta tag on IMDB.
