OpenGraph

Method: POST
URL: https://www.wellcomemat.com/api/media/opengraph.php

Notes:

  1. By default, when sharing videos to Facebook, the outbound link points to WellcomeMat’s video landing page on www.wellcomemat.com. The reason is because Facebook needs certain metadata (called OpenGraph) to embed videos inside of Facebook. It is possible to have the outbound links point to your domain if you embed our OpenGraph data onto the page you want to link to.

    1. Get the hash for the video in question.

      • For individual videos (which, for example, could be on a listing landing page), you already know the hash from embedding the video.

      • For a channel or playlist, this can be pulled from the URL. For example: ?wm_video_id=k5hfc1467d036dt

    2. Make this API call to retrieve the OpenGraph data

    3. Dynamically insert the response HTML snippet into the page’s tag.
