POIs there a service or way to get the same information as the Facebook Object Debugger page?

copied!<p>We are creating a project where I have a list of URLs and I would like to display some info about each page just like Facebook does when you add a link to a post.</p> <p>Is there a service or API call that returns me a JSON of the graph properties just like the one generated at the bottom of the <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Facebook Object Debugger</a> ? (ex: <a href="http://graph.facebook.com/421751811580" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://graph.facebook.com/421751811580</a> )</p> <p>The <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/#reading" rel="nofollow noreferrer">reading graph API</a> states that I can pass in a URL as an id. However, for some URLs it doesn't return all the data as the Debug Tool. (ex: <a href="https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://www.terra.com.br" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://www.terra.com.br</a>)</p> <p>My other idea is to call the Object Debugger with a URL and parse the page. But I´m not sure if that is a safe or allowed by Facebook. (ex: <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.terra.com.br" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.terra.com.br</a>)</p> <p>This is the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7210721/how-can-i-get-the-facebook-object-id-for-a-new-web-page">post</a> that led me to the <em>?ids=</em> information</p>

Querying!
