Is there a 'proper' way to extract Open Graph meta data in PHP?

Question

I want to use Open Graph metadata from websites for my scraper .

I know I can use get_meta_tags() for regular metadata, but I didn't find anything similar for og tags.

I can parse it manually or use some external tool from github but is there any 'proper' way to do it? Any library that is considered default? Especially for Laravel.

I think your best option is fusonic/opengraph. Since it uses guzzle, and some symphony components. Although, as with most under-used PHP projects, check out a fork for updated dependencies, such as benallfree/opengraph.

You can add it via composer using require with a git url:

{
  "require": {
    "fusonic/opengraph": "dev-master"
  },
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "vcs",
      "url": "https://github.com/benallfree/opengraph.git"
    }
  ]
}
