Open Graph Tag Checker - Validate OG meta tags for social sharing

Open Graph (OG) tags control how your pages look when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, and other platforms.

This Actor crawls one or more URLs and validates og:* meta tags like og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, and og:type.

What it checks

• Extracts all meta[property="og:*"] (and meta[name="og:*"]) tags
• Missing or empty required OG tags
• Duplicate OG properties (e.g., multiple og:title)
• Invalid / non-absolute URLs in og:url and og:image
• Optional: validate og:image URLs are reachable (status code + content-type)
• Optional: warn when og:image exists but og:image:width / og:image:height are missing
• Optional: compare og:url to the final loaded URL (after redirects)

Input

• Start URLs: pages to check
• Max pages: limit total pages processed
• Follow links / Max depth / Same domain only: basic site crawl
• Required OG tags: override the default required list
• Validate og:image URLs: off by default (extra requests)

Output

Dataset (per page)

Each item includes:

• url, loadedUrl, statusCode, title
• ogTags (raw extracted OG meta tags)
• Convenience fields: ogTitle, ogDescription, ogImage, ogUrl, ogType, ogSiteName
• hasRequiredTags, missingRequiredTags, duplicateProperties
• warnings, errors

Key-value store

• SUMMARY: aggregate totals and run configuration
• REPORT: { summary, pages } for easy downstream reporting

{
"startUrls":[{"url":"https://example.com"}],
"maxPages":10,

Tips (trust + predictable results)
