The explicitly_shared parameter is not working on the action I've built and therefore the stories are not appearing on the users' timelines. An example of the URL scraped is: http://www.lunker.com/posts/tdscA
When I run this through the opengraph debugger, it presents the following error: "Objects of this type do not allow properties named 'fb:explicitly_shared'." Here's the metadata it sees:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="205936312871520" />
<meta property="fb:explicitly_shared" content="true" />
<meta property="og:type" content="catchmylunker:lunker" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Lunker Photo" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://s3.amazonaws.com/lunker_production/fish_photos/original/ce85a18aa54fe476b7cb3e909ce4f05f3e7adab7.JPG?1369326898" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.lunker.com/posts/tdscA" />
<meta property="og:description" content="" />
<meta property="og:determiner" content="a" />
What could cause this?
I discovered that the reason for this problem was that my application needed to be resubmitted for approval in order for the explicitly_shared directive to function. We resubmitted it for the review process and it was approved, so it now works.

Starting about a week ago, Facebook no longer correctly pulls my "og:image" unless I use the Facebook debug tool and click on "scape again" several times.
I receive the following error message :
The provided 'og:image' properties are not yet available because new images are processed asynchronously. To ensure shares of new URLs include an image, specify the dimensions using 'og:image:width' and 'og:image:height' tags.
My code has been working perfectly for over a year and I have made no modifications to it.
Here is my code :
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.example.com/images/example.png" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="220" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="220" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:title" content="<Article Title>" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<Article Desc>" />
<meta property="og:url" content="<Article URL>" />
<meta property="og:see_also" content="<Article Alt URL>" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="example.com" />
<meta property="og:locale" content="en_US" />
I've removed the real meta content, but I assure you all the meta tags are filled out correctly.
After hitting the "scape again" button a couple times, Facebook is finally able to pull the image.
There is 0.00 server load on my dedicated server so that's not the issue.
Any ideas?
It appears this was a Facebook issue, as everything magically started to work again without me making any changes.
I'm interested in sharing embedded content on social media. My goal is to allow real estate agents to share a slide show of a house they're selling, and to this end I'd really like to be able to embed content rather than linking back to it.
A great example of what I want to do is here, on the authorStream facebook page.
How are they embedding this content? Do they have some deal with facebook?
If you're interested in how they did this, I recommend you use the OpenGraph Debugger and observe the tags they added to their page to make this content visible in this form. Here's a sample:
<meta name="og_site_name" property="og:site_name" content="authorSTREAM" />
<meta property="og:title" content="15 Steps to Prepare for an Interview -Sachin Karpe " />
<meta property="og:description" content="Sachin Karpe shares few steps before you walk for an interview.- authorSTREAM Presentation" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="632248145" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="26672622939" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://authorstream.s3.amazonaws.com/content/2177074_635379786451345000.jpg" />
<meta property="og:type" content="movie" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/sachinkarpe-2177074-15-steps-prepare-interview-sachin-karpe/" />
<meta property="og:video" content="http://www.authorstream.com/Player.swf?p=2177074_635379786451345000&r=1&pt=3&fb=1&mb=1&nb=1&pl=as&ap=0&c=#dfdfdf&fi=1" />
<meta property="og:video:secure_url" content="https://www.authorstream.com/player.swf?p=2177074_635379786451345000&r=1&pt=3&fb=1&mb=1&nb=1&pl=as&ap=0&c=#dfdfdf&fi=1" />
<meta property="og:video:height" content="402" />
<meta property="og:video:width" content="481" />
<meta property="og:video:type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash" />
Last, you could check the Open Graph Get Started documentation from Facebook
In my application I've got products and sets of products.
As I found on Facebook Open Graph documentation, there are two similar to mine og types:
Set: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/object-type/product.group/
Set element (product): https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/object-type/product.item/
I tried to describe my application sub-page as one of above og types by placing meta tags:
<head prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# product: http://ogp.me/ns/product#">
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="xxx" />
<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<meta property="og:url" content="my url" />
<meta property="og:title" content="my title" />
<meta property="og:image" content="my thumb" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="my sitename" />
<meta property="product:price:amount" content="my price" />
Facebook Open Graph debugger recognizes my url as product. But I do not know can I link product to product.group.
I would like to achieve scenario that user may like group of products (product.group including many og types product.item). I've got url: /list/1 and when someone like/share the list, I want to present it nicely on user timeline.
Why doesnt facebook Object Debugger pick up on y og:titls and og:discriptions when it already shows it in my src code???
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Was the moon landing real in 1969" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.opinionfreaks.com" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.opinionfreaks.com/images/logoMain.png" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Was the moon landing real in 1969" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="opinionfreaks" />
when i run the same link trough Object Debugger it just wont show them....any ideas...
Kind regards

What #CBroe said essentially.
Your server needs to be accessible to the public web, or have a exclusion in your blocking rules for the Facebook Crawler. There's more details in the Documentation.
SOLVED: had to dynamicly create the
og:url ...http://www. opinionfreaks.com?user_id =343&title=
...seems to have worked a treat
When i use graphic protocol to let facebook fetch to our link, i have a problem as follow. (My site is vietnamese)
Fisrt: I do a test on sucsongmoi.net/facebook.html (it work perfectly)
Second: I apply this (tag) to others page like url: http://sucsongmoi.net/48/tam-kieu-ca-si-thu-minh-6882s.html
Butt it doesn't works any more. I feel strange. i did a test on https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug but seem i couldn't figure out the problem.
Thanks in advance
Code:
This is meta for second link:
<title>Tắm kiểu ca sĩ Thu Minh - SSM</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="Tắm kiểu ca sĩ Thu Minh - SSM" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:url" content="sucsongmoi.net/48/tam-kieu-ca-si-thu-minh-6882s.html"; />
<meta property="og:image" content="sucsongmoi.net/images/logo.png"; />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="SSM" />
<meta property="og:description" content="des" />

<meta property="og:title" content="Angelina Jolie bị "đánh bại" dưới tay ennifer Aniston - SSM" />

<meta property="og:image" content="sucsongmoi.net/images/logo.png"; />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="SSM" />
<meta property="og:description" content="des" />
A little thing, why you have semi-colon after your attribute?
<meta property="og:url" content="sucsongmoi.net/facebook.html"; />
<meta property="og:url" content="sucsongmoi.net/48/tam-kieu-ca-si-thu-minh-6882s.html"; />
And when I debug your link, FB debugger said:
Inferred Property: The og:url property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property: The og:title property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
That means you didn't put meta tag to your page, check it again
