OGP is a minimalist Ruby library that does only one thing: parse Open Graph protocol information. For more information: http://ogp.me.

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem 'ogp'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ogp

Usage

In order to keep OGP very simple, it does not perform any HTTP operations. As such, in this example, Faraday is used to achieve this functionality.

require 'faraday'
require 'ogp'

response = Faraday.get('http://ogp.me')

open_graph = OGP::OpenGraph.new(response.body)
open_graph.title # => "Open Graph protocol"
open_graph.type # => "website"
open_graph.image.url # => "http://ogp.me/logo.png"
open_graph.url # => "http://ogp.me/"

# All open graph tags are additionally stored in a `data` hash so that custom
# open graph tags can still be accessed.
open_graph.data["title"] # => "Open Graph protocol"
