# init(fetching:timeout:includeSubresources:)

Creates a LinkMetadata value from the specified properties by fetching the URL using the specified request.

## Declaration

```swift
nonisolated init(fetching request: URLRequest, timeout: Duration = .seconds(30), includeSubresources: Bool = true) async throws
```

## Parameters

- `request`: The URL request to fetch the metadata from.
- `timeout`: The time interval after which the request automatically fails if it hasn’t already completed. By default, this is 30 seconds. If a metadata fetch takes longer than the timeout interval, an Error is thrown.
- `includeSubresources`: Determines if subresources should be fetched in addition to the main resource. If true, additional data will be fetched from the network to provide subresources such as images and icons. If false, no additional networking is done.

## Discussion

Discussion Metadata fetching supports Task cancellation; if the enclosing Task is cancelled, the metadata request will be cancelled.
