  • opengraph

    A python module to parse the Open Graph Protocol

  • If you are a developer, you've probably seen the Open Graph images (part of Open Graph Protocol) generated by popular dev related websites like DEV.to or even Vercel's Open Graph Image as a Service. Both examples are using an approach to render image related to the content, so it contains some standard layout background, an image in it that is related to the content (vercel's logo or author's avatar), headline or title of the article, and a description.
