Today, I tried to post a link from my website on my wall, but no OG meta information was fetched. Therefore, I went on to Facebook URL Linter to check things for myself and see if OG meta tags are fetched properly.
To my surprise, every link on my website including the domain itself, generated Response code: 302.
My OG tags are well set and they were working fine a few days ago. Following is what the debugger shows for my domain : http://www.price-tag.org
Response Code: 302
Fetched URL: http://price-tag.org/
Canonical URL: http://price-tag.org/
Final URL: http://price-tag.org/WpjZW/
For every page from my website, facebook linter is adding an arbitrary string like above WpjZW.
Please let me know if this is a facebook error or something has gone wrong at my end.
It seems the linter is being sent on a circular redirect loop. It is seeing a 302 redirect.
For http://www.price-tag.org I don't see anything but a 200 response code when I navigate to your website using Firefox.
However, if I remove the www from the url and go to http://price-tag.org, I do see the strange behaviour of the 302s and then a random url like http://price-tag.org/UKXRN/
I would suggest you contact your server admin or web master to see what they have in place that is doing this 302 redirect and strange url characters.

On April 12th, Facebook upgraded the FB App we use to share new articles to our page to API version 2.6. Since then, stories get posted, but the image is usually not added to the story.
When I check with the opengraph debugger, I see strange errors like:
Circular Redirect
We could not resolve the canonical URL because the redirect path contained a cycle.
With redirect paths of:
Redirect Path
Input URL arrow-right https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/government/34-tech-firms-sign-accord-not-to-assist-government-hacking-operations/
301 HTTP Redirect arrow-right https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/government/34-tech-firms-sign-accord-not-to-assist-government-hacking-operations/
Even stranger, sometimes the redirect paths show urls like below, which are not from my site:
Input URL arrow-right https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/crooks-hijack-router-dns-settings-to-redirect-users-to-android-malware/
301 HTTP Redirect arrow-right https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/crooks-hijack-router-dns-settings-to-redirect-users-to-android-malware/?utm_content=70198165&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook
og:url Meta Tag arrow-right https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/crooks-hijack-router-dns-settings-to-redirect-users-to-android-malware/
Once I click on the scrape button again, it gets rid of the error, but the images still do not show in the post on my FB page.
It is almost as if the scraper is targeting URLs that are not mine, even though I am sending them correctly and I have the same urls in my og:url and canonical tags.
Any ideas?
I have a problem on random URLs hit on Faceboook account.
After posting a note on http://www.soycarmin.com/, generated a short url with 'google url shortener' and then stick it on the wall account https://www.facebook.com/pages/Soy-CarmÃn/1394963147496673
The problem I have is that occasionally brings this url 404.
If the url income I get from goo.gl, it directs me to the site properly ''m carmine' and if I look at the fields 'open graph' these are correctly added.
This causes occasionally have to be debugged my url to share properly.
Could someone help me with this situation?
looks like that facebook scraper cant detect my page, it says that the
response code is : 302
and when I click to see what scraper sees from my URL link, it says:
Document returned no data
I already have all the og meta tags along canonical URL link working fine, I guess it must be some redirection issue since the response code indicate it. it's the same error on my homepage and other pages.
because of this, I cant share any content of my website via sharing a URL on facebook.
I'd appreciate any help, thanks.
I'm just trying to use standard link sharing using Facebook's sharer.php url. Here is a sample link:
https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbsfurl.com%2FhTM9%2F2%2F2&t=Welcome!
I've been doing this successfully since 2009. Recently the Facebook sharer page seems to no longer be able to access my link to pull in images and a description. Using the Facebook Object debugger,
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/
I see that every URL that i try returns a HTTP 502 error. Can someone help me understand why this is happening? Even a static HTML page returns this same error. Here is a screenshot of the error: http://images.publicaster.com/ImageLibrary/account116/images/facebookscrapeerror.png
Testing the URL in a browser works fine: http://stagingclick.publicaster.com/test.htm. this is just a static link no dynamic content, no redirects nothing. I'm a little at a loss of what i can do to fix this error. In my IIS logs i am not able to see the incoming request from Facebook's scraper.
Thanks!

The page you linked (http://stagingclick.publicaster.com/test.htm) is redirected (via the og:url tag) to http://www.nin.ja which doesn't resolve - are you sure there isn't a similar problem with the live links you're sharing?
Here is what I get when I us the facebook debugger:
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.towertheatermiami.com%2FTeventDetails.aspx%3FSeriesId%3D8874
Response Code: 200
Fetched URL: http://www.towertheatermiami.com/TeventDetails.aspx?SeriesId=8874
I realize that this page is not posting to facebook properly when recommending or writing a comment. The image and content doesn't come in at all under my facebook profile.
Response code 200 means that Facebook was able to scrape your page.
The problem that I am seeing with your URL is that it returns a 404 error and you redirect to a custom 404. Facebook is scraping the tags from your custom error page.
