Opengraph.io package for php

Opengraph.io php

Opengraph-io-php package is a wrapper on opengraph.io API, especially built for modern PHP projects which is using Composer as package and dependency management., _(*1)

Getting Started

OpenGraph.io client library for PHP. Given a URL, the client will make a HTTP request to OpenGraph.io which will scrape the site for OpenGraph tags. If tags exist the tags will be returned to you., _(*2)

Often times the appropriate tags will not exist and this is where OpenGraph.io shines. It will infer what the OpenGraph tags probably would be an return them to you as hybridGraph., _(*3)

The hybridGraph results will always default to any OpenGraph tags that were found on the page. If only some tags were found, or none were, the missing tags will be inferred from the content on the page., _(*4)

For most uses, the OpenGraph.io API is free. To get a free forever key, signup at OpenGraph.io., _(*5)

If you end up having very heavy useage, the vast majority of projects will be totally covered using one of our inexpensive plans. Dedicated plans are also available upon request., _(*6)

Installation

This package is in active development and not discoverable by Composer via Packagist. But if you wish to test this package now you have to follow these procedures, _(*7)

1. Clone this repository inside your PHP project. As this project is intended to release as a composer package so you should better have composer initialized into your project and already have a /vendor directory inside your project root. bash $ cd <project_root>/vendor $ mkdir primeobsession && cd primeobsession $ git clone https://github.com/primeobsession/opengraph-io-php.git
2. Open your composer.json file add this line inside your "psr-4" object json { ... "autoload": { ... "psr-4": { "OpenGraph\\": "vendor/primeobsession/opengraph-io-php/src/OpenGraph" }, ... }, ... }
3. Now just autoload your composer dependencies again using bash $ composer dump-autoload

4. Now you should be able to access OpenGraphClient using proper namespace, _(*8)

   use OpenGraph\OpenGraphClient;
   
   define('OG_API_KEY', 'XXXXXXXXX');
   
   $og = new OpenGraphClient(OG_API_KEY);
   

• After releasing this package to Packagist you will be able to require it as following bash $ composer require primeobsession/opengraph-io-php or simply by adding inside your composer.json like json { ... "require": { "php": ">=7.0.0", "primeobsession/opengraph-io-php": "^1.0" }, ... } and the updating composer dependencies bash $ composer update

Usage

• Autoload the package at the top of your PHP file as following

require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php'; 

• Initiate the OpenGraph client with API key obtained from opengraph.io and pass it to class constructor as following

define('OG_API_KEY', 'XXXXXXXXX');

try {
    $og = new OpenGraph\OpenGraphClient(OG_API_KEY);
} catch (\OpenGraph\OpenGraphException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

• OpenGraph client constructor parameter summary

define('OG_API_KEY', 'XXXXXXXXX');

try {
    $og = new OpenGraph\OpenGraphClient(OG_API_KEY, true, true); // app_id = 'XXXXXXXXX', cache_ok = true, full_render = true
} catch (\OpenGraph\OpenGraphException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

• To fetch open graph response for a website you have to call fetch method with URL (of website to fecth og contents) as a required parameter.

define('OG_API_KEY', 'XXXXXXXXX');

try {
    $og = new OpenGraph\OpenGraphClient(OG_API_KEY, true, true);
    $response = $og->fetch('https://www.opengraph.io');
    echo '<pre>';
    var_dump($response);
} catch (\OpenGraph\OpenGraphException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

• N.B. OpenGraph Response return you back an implementaion of OpenGraphResponse object if you wish to get all data as an array just append toArray() method after your response as following.

...
    var_dump($response->toArray());
...

• Now you will get an array like following

array (size=11)
  '_id' => string '59c52d5a1b60710023a3b82a' (length=24)
