How to update facebook open graph image
facebook, facebook-opengraph
Solution
this is the most consistent answer I've found to this problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21468084/339698
If you're too lazy to go to that link, you can `POST` an ajax request with the url you are trying to clear:
$.post(
'https://graph.facebook.com',
{
id: 'http://www.site.com/my/share/url/',
scrape: true
},
function(response){
console.log(response);
}
);
Problem
Say if you have set the facebook image for your webpage via the meta tag of the open graph protocol like this: `<meta property="og:image" content="http://ia.media-imdb.com/rock.jpg"/>` If you want to replace/update the image with another image of the same name `rock.jpg`, how do you get facebook to update your image accordingly with the new image when you share the page? Forcing facebook to fetch your page's data with this link http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug won't update the image.
