og:url in cyrillic and Facebook OG Debugger - facebook

I use Joomla 3.2.4.
Until last week everything was ok with posting links in Facebook, but now when I try to post a link, FB shows only site name with a correct link to posted item, but there are no image, description etc.
The OG Debugger says : Object at URL 'http://www.sroditeli.com/%D0%97%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B5/%D0%9D%D0%B5-%D1%81%D0%B5-%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B9%D1%82%D0%B5-%D1%81-%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BA%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5-%D1%81%D0%B8-%D0%B7%D0%B0-%D0%B4%D0%B0-%D0%B6%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B5-%D0%B4%D1%8A%D0%BB%D0%B3%D0%BE.html' of type 'website' is invalid because a required property 'og:title' of type 'string' was not provided.
In the page code all OG tags are there - you can see the tags in the given URL.
I have no idea what is the problem. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Facebook is not reading OG META TAGS

i have problem with SHARE/LIKE or whatever on my site with facebook meta tags.
I am reading all forums and so but still didnt find answer, why when i click on share / like there is no information, no title, no image, nothing, only URL (haluze.eu).
Site: http://haluze.eu/video/vynikajuci-vykon-v-sou-svedsko-ma-talent/1082/
I have checked OG reader http://ogp.spypixel.com/ and all og tags have been successfully red.
BUT, when i check mentioned site with FB DEBUG i got errors like: The 'og:type' property is required, but not present.
You can see meta tags in source code of mentioned site.
I AM LOST!!! Thanks for help.

Facebook OG The 'og:type' property is required, but not present

Facebook won't scrape my page, from OG Debugger Missing Required Property The 'og:type' property is required, but not present.
I've checked all og properties and it is fine
META TAG inspector
Anyone experienced the same problem?
I know this is an old question, but I am hoping Heri found a solution.
Yes. I am experiencing this problem, though it is inconsistent. When I use the call in python
fbWallPost = graph.put_wall_post(fbmsg, fbpost, fairwork_facebook_page_id)
That is when I specify the page ID, I often have success with facebook obtaining the image and description I set in the og tags. When I call
fbWallPost = graph.put_wall_post(fbmsg, fbpost, 'me')
It mostly fails. When I enter the URL in the facebook debug page
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
I get the same error you were getting on "show existing scrape information", but on "Fetch new scrape information" there is no error.
Now when I post pages manually to my wall, the images are not being scraped until I first go load the URL into the Facebook debug tool mentioned above

Facebook does not recognize OG tags of website

I added metadata for og:title, og:image etc.
But facebook for some reason does not see them.
I get error:
Object at URL 'http://www.heliconbooks.com/article/authorlanding' of type 'website' is invalid because a required property 'og:title' of type 'string' was not provided.
I looked at the facebook scraper and for some reason these meta tags are omitted. When I look at the source, I see them.
What am I doing wrong?
Check https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/echo?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.heliconbooks.com%2Farticle%2Fauthorlanding
There you can see that FB doesn't see any OG tags. If I look at the source of the website you linked, there are no OG tags as well. So, fix you code according to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/howtos/maximizing-distribution-media-content#tags
I think I found the reason, facebook has seen a different page template since my system has adaptive templates based on visitor IP.
Now it shows an image, but not the image I wanted. I guess I have to continue researching it.

facebook share link "facebook URL requested a HTTP redirect, but it could not be followed."

When I share a link from my site, it cannot detect thumbnail, title and description of the page...
I use facebook linter to identify the problem it gave me this error:
"facebook URL requested a HTTP redirect, but it could not be followed."
this is the linter url:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.almadenahnews.com%2Fnewss%2Fnews.php%3Fc%3D509%26id%3D141802
this problem appeared only recently..
If anyone know how to solve it, please help me
You should use Facebook User ID as fb:admins property (not the ID #126788814107574 of Application which you currently use).
This is confirmed by OpenGraph debugger error message:
Object at URL 'http://www.almadenahnews.com/newss/news.php?c=509&id=141802' of type 'website' is invalid because the given value '126788814107574' for property 'fb:admins' could not be parsed as type 'fbid'.
You also required (probably) to use fb:app_id property. See the older docs (in new documentation it's not stated anywhere that this is requirement but some things will just not work, comment moderation for example).
You have put 126788814107574 as fb:admins, but if you look here,
http://graph.facebook.com/126788814107574
This clearly shows that 126788814107574 is an id of an app.
Instead of putting app_id, put your own profile id( or the profile id of admin,if its different )
This should solve the problem.
Also, app_id should be placed as
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="<your_app_id>" />
I faced the same problem when i first converted my website from http to https. The solution is to manually rename 'http' to 'https' wherever you used so.

Facebook Open Graph started working wrongly when Liking the page

So I have a blog: www.elnacional.com.uy
Each article has it's open graph meta tags, so when someone Likes the article, a title, picture and description are posted on facebook.
But suddenly it started working wrongly, now when u like the page u just get the Link to be posted on facebook, not the description nor the title nor the picture.
And I have no idea what's going on because nothing was changed.
Please use the debugger to troubleshoot your problems.
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.elnacional.com.uy%2Fjugadores%2Fperalta-hablo-de-lo-que-se-viene-en-el-apertura%2F
This shows the following error:
Object at URL 'http://www.elnacional.com.uy/jugadores/peralta-hablo-de-lo-que-se-viene-en-el-apertura/' is invalid because the configured 'og:type' of 'news' is invalid.
The "news" type for "og:type" isn't a valid type according to the documentation here.
This is why it doesn't know what to do with your title, image and description.
I suggest using the type article as it is documented as
article - Use article for any URL that represents transient content -
such as a news article, blog post, photo, video, etc.
The meta tags should be in the head, maybe that's why it isn't working :)
