I have used open graph meta tags in my website

<meta name="og:description" content="My page descriptions ..." />
<meta name="og:title" content="سخت‌افزار20" />
<meta name="og:type" content="website" />
<meta name="og:url" content="http://www.hardware20.com/" />
<meta name="og:image" content="http://www.hardware20.com/apple-touch-icon.png"/>
<meta name="og:site_name" content="hardware20"/>
<meta name="og:locale" content="fa-IR" />

But facebooke does not load Image & Descriptions, When I try to share a page.

I have tried debugging by open graph debugger https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ But the debugger always said Error parsing input URL, no data was scraped. (even with facebook examples!)

Thanks in advance

  • Is it possible that something in your robots.txt would be blocking Facebook's scraper?

  • @nathangiesbrecht I wonder why developers.facebook.com/tools/debug does not work with any URLs not just my website.

    @nathangiesbrecht Thanks, still got Error parsing input URL, no data was scraped. I used VPN (Because Facebook is not available in Iran!) maybe my VPN server is blocked by Facebook debugger, anyway thank you for your help.

Is it possible that because your site is hosted in Iran (or appears to be) Facebook is blocked from scraping it? Typically a call to the Facebook share API includes the page title and the URL and the rest is scraped by a crawl.

If the Iranian firewall blocks outbound requests to Facebook I don't see why it would allow inbound requests either.
