# openGraphScraper
[](https://github.com/jshemas/openGraphScraper/actions?query=branch%3Amaster)
[](https://snyk.io/test/github/jshemas/openGraphScraper)
A simple node module for scraping Open Graph and Twitter Card info off a site.
Note: `open-graph-scraper` doesn't support browser usage at this time.
## Installation
```bash
npm install open-graph-scraper --save
```
## Usage
```javascript
const ogs = require('open-graph-scraper');
const options = { url: 'http://ogp.me/' };
ogs(options)
.then((data) => {
const { error, result, response } = data;
console.log('error:', error); // This returns true or false. True if there was an error. The error itself is inside the results object.
console.log('result:', result); // This contains all of the Open Graph results
console.log('response:', response); // This contains the HTML of page
})
```
## Results JSON
Check the return for a ```success``` flag. If success is set to true, then the url input was valid. Otherwise it will be set to false. The above example will return something like...
```javascript
{
ogTitle: 'Open Graph protocol',
ogType: 'website',
ogUrl: 'http://ogp.me/',
ogDescription: 'The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph.',
ogImage: {
url: 'http://ogp.me/logo.png',
width: '300',
height: '300',
type: 'image/png'
},
requestUrl: 'http://ogp.me/',
success: true
}
```
## Options
| Name | Info | Default Value | Required |
|----------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|----------|
| url | URL of the site. | | x |
| html | You can pass in an HTML string to run ogs on it. (use without options.url) | | |
| blacklist | Pass in an array of sites you don't want ogs to run on. | [] | |
| onlyGetOpenGraphInfo | Only fetch open graph info and don't fall back on anything else. | false | |
| ogImageFallback | Fetch other images if no open graph ones are found. | true | |
| customMetaTags | Here you can define custom meta tags you want to scrape. | [] | |
| allMedia | By default, OGS will only send back the first image/video it finds | false | |
| peekSize | Sets the peekSize for the request | 1024 | |
| downloadLimit | Maximum size of the content downloaded from the server, in bytes | 1000000 (1MB) | |
| urlValidatorSettings | Sets the options used by validator.js for testing the URL | [Here](https://github.com/jshemas/openGraphScraper/blob/master/lib/utils.js#L102-L114) | |
Note: `open-graph-scraper` uses [got](https://github.com/sindresorhus/got) for requests and most of [got's options](https://github.com/sindresorhus/got/blob/main/documentation/2-options.md) should work as `open-graph-scraper` options.
## Custom Meta Tag Example
```javascript
const ogs = require('open-graph-scraper');
const options = {
url: 'https://github.com/jshemas/openGraphScraper',
customMetaTags: [{
multiple: false, // is there more than one of these tags on a page (normally this is false)
property: 'hostname', // meta tag name/property attribute
fieldName: 'hostnameMetaTag', // name of the result variable
}],
};
ogs(options)
.then((data) => {
const { error, result, response } = data;
console.log('hostnameMetaTag:', result.hostnameMetaTag); // hostnameMetaTag: github.com
})
```
## Proxy Example
[Look here](https://github.com/sindresorhus/got/blob/main/documentation/tips.md#proxying) for more info on how to use proxies.
```javascript
const ogs = require('open-graph-scraper');
const tunnel = require('tunnel');
const options = {
url: 'https://whatismyipaddress.com/',
timeout: {
request: 10000,
},
agent: {
// setting proxy agent for https requests
https: tunnel.httpsOverHttp({
// test proxies can be found here: https://hidemy.name/en/proxy-list/?country=US&type=h#list or http://free-proxy.cz/en/proxylist/country/US/https/ping/all
proxy: {
host: 'proxy_ip',
port: proxyPort,
rejectUnauthorized: false,
}
})
}
};
ogs(options)
.then((data) => {
const { error, result, response } = data;
console.log('response:', response); // you should see the proxy IP in here
})
```
## User Agent Example
```javascript
const ogs = require("open-graph-scraper");
const options = {
url: "https://www.wikipedia.org/",
headers: {
"user-agent": "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)",
},
};
ogs(options)
.then((data) => {
const { error, result, response } = data;
console.log("error:", error); // This returns true or false. True if there was an error. The error itself is inside the results object.
console.log("results:", results); // This contains all of the Open Graph results
})
```
## Tests
Then you can run the tests by running...
```bash
npm run test
```
