Do I need any approval from Facebook/twitter team to add `og|twitter` meta tag in my site?


I would like to add embedded representation of my site's link on third party sites. So, I'm adding oEmbed link to my site. Also I'm adding og and twitter meta tags to my site to make the embedded content visible in Facebook and twitter sites.

Do I need to get any approval from Facebook or Twitter team to make my og and twitter tags visible in their site?

If no approval is needed how og or twitter tag is visible to them? Or how should I get approval for adding meta tags to my site?

Any advise is much appreciated ! Thanks in advance :-)


Solution

  • No, feel free to use it at will. In fact it is highly recommended.

    Graph is an open API of optional meta tags you could choose to add to your website to enhance crawlers.

    You can check how facebook crawls your page or even force a rescrape using their debugger.

    The equivalent debugger for Twitter is this. They call them Cards and you can find more about them here.
