    cristrod817, as Greg pointed out, 'url' parameter is missing in your request and of course, the error message, you're receiving, notes the same. Take a look once again in the link you post above. There are 3 parameters - 1 mandatory and 2 optional. You have put only one of the optional params. 🙂 Where is the link you want to check metadata for? That's it.

Ha ha.. 😁 you are trying to evaluate an existing link, not to create a new link. 😉 If you want to create such link take a look here. 😉

Hope this helps.
