ferrum VS opengraph

What are you using for automation? There's a relatively new gem that I heard good things of, vessel: https://github.com/rubycdp/vessel . It uses ferrum under the hood, a set of Ruby bindings to Chrome/Chromium (https://github.com/rubycdp/ferrum).

I've used https://github.com/rubycdp/ferrum as driver for automated testing with capybara for which it works great. It recommends https://github.com/rubycdp/vessel as higher level abstraction for web scraping.

require "Rubygems" require "Ferrum" def generate_card(browser, card, png, options={}) browser.go_to("http://localhost:4000/cards/#{card}") # see all the options here https://github.com/rubycdp/ferrum#screenshots browser.screenshot(path: "./images/cards/#{png}", full: true, # final image size is window_size x scale scale: 2) end browser = Ferrum::Browser.new(window_size: [800, 418]) # Check what cards we need to make Dir.glob("_posts/*").each do |post| post = File.basename(post, ".md") png = post + ".png" card = post + ".html" generate_card(browser, card, png) unless File.exists?("./images/cards/#{png}") end

That is why we were happy to find out that a new ruby testing driver approach is being developed. It is called Cuprite, it runs the Ferrum library under the hood which, in turn, is an API that directly instruments the Chrome browser using the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). About a week ago, we finally made a serious attempt to make our system test suite run on Cuprite, with especially two questions in our minds:

I've used Ferrum for a couple small scripts in the past before.

OpenGraph docs

og:*: specified by the Open Graph Protocol for social media links rendering that determine their title, description, and images when you share them on social media or chat software such as Twitter(X), Discord, etc.

OpenGraph probably.

To explore more Open Graph properties, visit this website: Open Graph Protocol.

Since Netlify introduced Edge Functions we've had an ideal way to add a tiny bit of logic into our link shortener which will return a page template of our own to anything looking to unfurl the URL to display its opengraph image.

Recoil Gunworks doesn't have an Open Graph image tag defined in their product pages, so Reddit chooses something at random to use for a preview thumbnail. Neither OP nor the mods can do anything about it.

The idea behind the Semantic Web is, if anything, the exact opposite. Yes, it's still about meaning, in the end. But in this case, it's about the authors of content (mostly webpage developers) intentionally making their content more machine-discoverable, providing links and markup and metadata that computers can read without having to do finicky and error-prone extraction. Most major sites use some features of this! As an example, if you paste this page's URL into Discord, you'll get a fancy popup box with a little snippet of the text and maybe an icon, and this is through a Facebook-developed Semantic Web extension called OpenGraph.
