API suggestion: retrieving titles from urls

[mithra108270]

I'm new in Github, apologies this is not the correct place to contact you.

I will describe my situation (optional read): I'm developing a forum for a small community with a feature in Javascript that automatically fetches the title through an API given an url. The API I currently use (mihir.ch) is however blocked by some sites such as StackOverFlow and Substack, there is another api allorigins.win, which works for those links, but they pull the whole page instead of simply retriving the title, meaning that the time for the operation becomes too long.

The api I suggest is one which would retrieve the title (stop reading the site at to save time), with measures to prevent the api from being blocked (I think the case with mihir.ch is an issue with the user agent they employ) I would really appreciate if you would add this api idea!

Thanks for reading in any case.
