opengraph-io-ruby's Introduction

OpenGraph ( Ruby Client 0.1.2 )

Build Status Coverage Status

OpenGraph.io client library for Ruby. Given a URL, the client will make a HTTP request to OpenGraph.io which will scrape the site for OpenGraph tags. If tags exist the tags will be returned to you.

Oftentimes the appropriate tags will not exist and this is where OpenGraph.io shines. It will infer what the OpenGraph tags probably would be and return them to you as hybridGraph.

The hybridGraph results will always default to any OpenGraph tags that were found on the page. If only some tags were found, or none were, the missing tags will be inferred from the content on the page.

For most uses, the OpenGraph.io API is free. To get a free forever key, sign up at OpenGraph.io.

If you end up having very heavy usage, the vast majority of projects will be totally covered using one of our inexpensive plans. Dedicated plans are also available upon request.

NOTE Our free plan previously required no appId but was unfortunately abused. The free plan still exists and is free forever, you will just have to create an account on OpenGraph.io.

Installation

Installation is simple:

gem install opengraph-io

Usage

Initialization

To use the client, you must first initialize an instance of the class with your app_id. First, require 'opengraph-io' and then initialize an instance of the OpenGraphIO, passing it an options hash containing the required app_id key as a string:

require 'opengraph-io'
opengraph = OpenGraphIO.new({app_id: 'your_app_id_here!'})

Setting Default Options at Initialization

You may also initialize your OpenGraphIO instance with default options. For example, if you would always like to perform a full_render, you can pass that parameter in the options hash at initialization along with your app_id:

require 'opengraph-io'
opengraph = OpenGraphIO.new({app_id: 'your_app_id_here!', full_render: true})

This OpenGraphIO instance will default to performing a full_render whenever you request OpenGraph tags, unless you later decide to override this option in your request (see below!).

If you do not pass any options besides the required app_id, the defaults will be used:

cache_ok: true
full_render: false
version: '1.1'

Requesting OpenGraph Tags

You can request OpenGraph tags by calling get_site_info on your OpenGraphIO instance and passing it your target site as a string.

opengraph.get_site_info('https://github.com')

This will return a hash containing the response. See https://www.opengraph.io/documentation/ for an example response.

Requesting OpenGraph Tags with Overridden Options

OpenGraphIO#get_site_info takes an optional second argument, consisting of an options hash, similar to the options hash used at initialization. The options supplied here will override the default options set at initialization for this request. For example, let's say you initialize your OpenGraphIO instance like this:

require 'opengraph-io'
opengraph = OpenGraphIO.new({app_id: 'your_app_id_here!'})

You can use this instance to get a response using the full_render option and disabling the cache_ok option like so:

opengraph.get_site_info('https://github.com', {full_render: true, cache_ok: false})
