OpenGraphy

This ruby gem allow you to fetch data that follows the opengraph protocol, and lets you fetch data from custom metatags also.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'open_graphy'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install open_graphy

Firstly require the gem using:

require 'open_graphy'

To fetch opengraph data from a URL use:

movie = OpenGraphy.fetch("https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/coffee_and_cigarettes/")

The fetch method returns an object with methods defined that can be used to access the data retrieved. A is also defined so you can check the existence of data before using it.

movie.title #=> "Coffee and Cigarettes"
movie.image? #=> true
movie.image #=> "https://resizing.flixster.com/9l1s-frU7dhkYqr0V-C0AlDpJuU=/740x290/v1.bjs3MDg4NTg7ajsxNzA2MzsxMjAwOzEyODA7NzIw"
movie.type #=> "video.movie"

By default the gem is set to look for og metatags. To fetch data from custom metatags you can configure the gem, the example below shows a typical configuration.

OpenGraphy.configure do |config|
  config.metatags = ["og:", "custom:tag:",]
end

When fetching data the default useragent is OpenGraphyBot, the example below shows a custom user agent being set.

OpenGraphy.configure do |config|
  config.user_agent = 'DataBot/0.6'
end
