Multiple Facebook, Twitter share buttons in one page with custom image and title

Question

I'm creating a blog where the landing page will show 5 latest posts by default and each post will have a Facebook and Twitter share buttons on them.

I will need each of the share button to have a default title, description and image attach to them and I'm using open graph to append the data.

The problem is how do I include multiple open graph data for each of the share button. I heard there is a way using iframe and another way is to pass the data in the share url.

Here is what I did.

This code is for Twitter. Added once in HEAD html section:

<script>window.twttr = (function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
    t = window.twttr || {};
  if (d.getElementById(id)) return t;
  js = d.createElement(s);
  js.id = id;
  js.src = "https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);

  t._e = [];
  t.ready = function(f) {
    t._e.push(f);
  };

  return t;
}(document, "script", "twitter-wjs"));</script>

This code is for Facebook. Added once at the top of the BODY html section.

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>

The HTML for the homepage list with each item having it's own Twitter and FB buttons. Each referencing a the specific post page.

<ul>
  <li>
    <h3>Post #1</h3>
    <div class="fb-share-button" data-href="https://example.com/post/1" 
         data-layout="button"></div>  
    <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" 
       data-url="https://example.com/post/1">Tweet</a>
  </li>
  <li>
    <h3>Post #2</h3>
    <div class="fb-share-button" data-href="https://example.com/post/2" 
         data-layout="button"></div>  
    <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" 
       data-url="https://example.com/post/2">Tweet</a>
  </li>
</ul>
