I am having an issue getting OG data back from http://conservative-warriors.com/. Facebook won't display any content including images on the Facebook feed. When I use the Facebook Debugger it returns a "Could not retrieve data from URL" error.
Apparently Facebook isn't getting anything https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/echo?q=http://conservative-warriors.com/.
I have changed themes and that didn't help. I have checked the HTML validation and the header information appears to be correct. I have tried other sites on the same server and those are working. I have tried updating WordPress and its plugins and that didn't help.
As of about a month ago, Facebook was getting data back. I am at a loss as to why it is being uncooperative now.
It could be because your og:url points somewhere else
<meta property="og:url" content="http://conservative-warriors.com/want-to-see-your-ancestors-past-lives-with-new-dna-technology/">

I found yesterday the some of the links of my website I want to post, can't be posted on my Facebook page.
After some research and reading in https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/, I found the some of the posts in my site are blocked but not all of them.
I got this message:
This link is blocked, or you have triggered an excessive amount of
scrapes. If you think you're seeing this by mistake, please let us
know.
and this also
fb:app_id hasn't been included in the meta tags. Specify the app ID so
that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the
app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share
dialog. Otherwise, the default app id( 966242223397117 ) will be
assigned.
And website is clean doesn't indicate any virus ...ets.
Some of the post's are OK but other are blocked and I can't get idea what is the difference between them.
Also check my open graph meta tag's, they also looks Ok. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
for the app_id issue:
Go to the following page: https://www.facebook.com/insights
Then use the "Create an App" and "Add your Domain" buttons to generate the app id for your site to be included in the meta tags on your web pages.
<meta property="fb:admins" content="1234" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="your_app_id" />
I have the same problem. It started after I updated my Yoast plugin to the latest version.
I tried to create a post (using a blogger URL) in the Facebook Power Editor.
Result:
Error creating posts. Please retry later. You can also go to your Page and post from there. (OAuthException) (#1500) The url you supplied is invalid
Then tried to install Facebook's Open Graph tags into Blogger to see of that would fix the problem.
To test the OG tags I used Open Graph Object Debugger.
Here are the results:
Critical Errors That Must Be Fixed, Error Linting URL, An internal error occurred while linting the URL.
How do I fix the invalid URL and the Critical: Error Linting URL?
I am not tech savy so this issue is way over my head but I would like to get it fixed. Please help.
Thanks
I had a problem like this with the og:image pointing to an image hosted on Rackspace. The URL was something crazy like
http://1234567890abcdef1234-1234567890abcdef123456780123412b.r23.cf5.rackcdn.com
I think the Facebook linter was seeing this as spam, because if I actually embedded the image in my app/assets it worked fine, so it wasn't the image that was the problem.
The solution was to set up a CNAME on my hosting provider that pointed to the hideously long Rackspace URL, e.g.
CNAME Value
images http://1234567890abcdef1234-1234567890abcdef123456780123412b.r23.cf5.rackcdn.com
Then I changed the og:image meta tag to be
meta property="og:image" content="http://images.mydomain.com/relative_rackspace_imagepath.jpg"
I wanted to contribute a little data point here as this is currently the top google result for this error and there is little useful info out there.
In my case, the page was a post on a wordpress blog that happened to begin with a twitter post embed, and the twitter post happened to contain an url. My og tag plugin grabbed the embed and managed to place the url along with a little other cruft in og:description, and once I cleaned that up manually the error disappeared.
I think the lesson is that when this happens take a look at your og tags for the page for ANYTHING unusual. That's the place to start.
Happened to me once my og:image pointed to this url:
http://xxxxxxx.appspot.com.storage.googleapis.com/IsraelFlag.jpg
I just changed it to:
http://storage.googleapis.com/xxxxxxx.appspot.com/IsraelFlag.jpg
and it works
probably very poor software parses the html
I spent hours trying to debug why this was happening for our site. It turns out it was because of the og:locale:alternate meta tags we had.
<meta property="og:locale:alternate" content="cs_CZ" />
<meta property="og:locale:alternate" content="de_DE" />
...
When Facebook sees this in your tags they subsequently hit your og:url with '?fb_locale=[lang]' where [lang] is each of your alternates. There is one request per alternate. In our case, we had code that was returning back a 302 on that request. As a result, the Facebook Open Graph Object Debugger kept saying "Error parsing input URL"
Once I fixed the responses to the alternate requests to actually return internationalized content, the issue was fixed.
I noticed that this has been asked before, but no one else has yet to receive an answer, so I'll try my best to ask too.
In the last several months, my Wordpress website, http://geekvision.tv/ , has been undetectable by Facebook's debugger. I managed to get my homepage to work once or twice, but ALL of my posts are completely unregistered with the debugger, coming back saying that the og:url is not explicitely provided. For a link to a post on the site, you can find it here: http://geekvision.tv/2013/03/a-message-to-video-game-pirates/
The Facebook debugger returns the following error for your homepage:
The object at 'http://geekvision.tv' previously had type 'article' and
cannot be changed to an object of type 'website' to avoid data
corruption of existing actions.
Try changing the og type back to <meta property="og:type" content="article">
For your other article, your webserver is returning a 404 error (despite then sending the full article). You should fix this response header before getting Facebook to scrape your other pages.

I find that if I use Chrome instead of Safari Facebook is able to scrape the images and does well. It's a simple answer to a problem I have been having for the last 4 months. Hope this helps.
I am using wordpress for my blog I also added it in spanish but when I share the link on Facebook it does not show any images just the link info how can I fix this?
I went on Facebook debug and it says: The 'og:url' property is required, but not present.
the link im using is www.zabiknowsitall.com/es
Try adding the image meta tag too.
<meta property="og:image" content="http://zabiknowsitall.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/cropped-header1.png" />
I've found Facebook to cache pages quite aggressively so you may need to wait a while for it to update.
The reason why Facebook can't read the og meta at all though is due to your server returning an HTTP status code of 500 (Server Error). It should be returning a 200, so you'll need to explore why this happening.
A handy tool for testing opengraph can be found here:

Links from our website Pixorange.com is loading without thumbnail images in Facebook. I did use FB lint tool to debug the issue and is giving an error stating that the image is not found.
Here are some links which you can post in FB wall and see that the thumbnail images are not loading with link. The issue is not every links but with some:
http://pixorange.com/tweet-my-weaknesses-to-me-says-modi
http://pixorange.com/rajiv-gandhi-was-entrepreneur-for-swedish-jet
Also when you like the article with FB like button, I am getting an error as follows " is an invalid value for property "object" with type "Reference*"*
We did check our app settings are found that the things are ok and also we did change our server from Hostgator to Inmotion hosting. I opened a ticket with hosting provider and FB developer, still they are not able to find the reason why the link is not loading.
Thanks,

Try adding a <meta> tag in the <head> section like:
<meta content='100003340872784' property='fb:admins'/>
Replace the 100003340872784 with your own facebook user id. You can get your facebook user id from here.
