Are there any good tutorials where you can see how to use javascript to get opengraph data from a url, like the way facebook does if you paste a link into your post's textarea, or how yahoo mail does (like facebook) when you paste a url into your mail.

I have googled this for an hour now with all kinds of keywords and can't find anything. Does anyone know of tutorials on how to do this?

Thanks.

  • Thanks... after looking at how yahoo mail does it I see some kind of server checking is rquired. It doesn't seem like you can do this just via ajax, getting the page and parsing the content. – RISC OS 3 Jan 09 '15 at 09:23
