I’m trying to send post using API feed. I set fields: message, link and name – example:

https://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/feed?access_token=XXX&message=test&link=http%3A%2F%2Fsamplelink&name=SampleName'

I don’t set fields description and image, but in my post on the wall/timeline I see description (taken from “description” meta tag on the linked page?) and picture (sometimes – I really don’t know why sometimes it appears and sometimes not – for the similar links).

Could you tell me from where the picture is taken?
And am I right that description is taken from meta tag?

One more question – how to refresh linked page (it seams to be cached – even if I change description or picture it use the previous one)?

    If you post story in feed containing link field and not providing description and/or image explicitly it’ll be taken from OpenGraph meta tags on the page referred in link.

    If og:image tag isn’t present Facebook Linter will try to extract it from one of the images in the page content.

    To update OpenGraph cache you should use URL Debugger (aka Linter)
