Object Meta Tags for Facebook Open Graph Protocol are represented by HTML markup on a particular webpage which uniquely defines each object. Here are standards. There are three parts – Creating Objects, Reading Objects and Updating Objects. We can implement Open Graph Object Meta Tags with widely known Pointers.
Object Meta Tags for Facebook Open Graph Protocol : The Basics
Real fool People will confuse you, because there are many so pro-claimed SEO-Experts. These has very little direct relationship with SEO itself, these are for representing an web object in a common way so that we can use the associated Application programming interface or API, like Facebook Open Graph Protocol and they will be fetched via either by cURL (read this guide for Installing cURL in Windows, on OS X by default cURL is installed, in case of Linux distros; they might be required to be installed, run which curl command to check) or directly in case of Apple OS X or Linux Distros or BSD variants.
An unrelated topic : Please check the respective Author’s degrees before on any webpage while reading anything on Object Meta Tags for Open Graph Protocol or any thing which appears relatively ‘new’ to you; it is obvious that; a person from any practical application field of science with world wide accepted degrees will not misdirect you. A person with bachelors on Engineering / BE or above will not write any contradictory article from this guide. There can not be any point of confusion. Because these are application of science, hardly will have some branding. All has some standard. Unfortunately, a person from Rackspace once wrote a good point – the persons who are actually knows; get lesser time to write them up. Degrees has definite values. All will claim they are big person and show a big digit of followers – do not get fool; these can be ‘purchased’ easily. The thing is said because an innocent person via comments has complained us that a ‘bigger person’ has ripped a good amount of money.

When we are posting / syndicating anything on Facebook or Twitter, we definitely have passed the checkpoint of API, it is becoming an material of Facebook; so actually we can run commands like written in :
1 | https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/using-objects/ |
So, these are the things which basically can use on our websites, or rather WordPress easily by enclosing as Meta :
1 | https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/creating-object-types/#properties |
All are written here as standard :

So, some are constant with a domain, some are variable and needs to be generated by any server side programming language for dynamic generation – like we do with PHP for WordPress. These are the very basics of Object Meta Tags for Facebook Open Graph Protocol.
Object Meta Tags for Facebook Open Graph Protocol : Examples and Usages
Look at the example of IMDB :

You webpage never can verify the App ID in your webpage but imbd.com is nicely passing, right ? It is an open proof that, the plugin developers or the user or both lacks knowledge needed for integration. At this moment, if you check this URL :
1 | https://thecustomizewindows.com/2012/07/installing-curl-in-windows-to-run-curl-commands-natively/ |
For UNIX OS, the output wants to be saved separately, right ? Plus its not looking like imbd.com, right ? This happening because :

We are not following the right way. We should post on our Facebook App and the App should post the things elsewhere. You App must pass this step :
1 | https://developers.facebook.com/docs/web/gettingstarted/ |
Then it should work like an automated thing that will post on the subscriber’s timeline / profile. Its quite viral, indeed. When this App post on your website’s timeline, all tags becomes valid. You can read more on Facebook API :

To be honest, the way we use Facebook App ID, if Facebook was Google, they will ban us – because its actually against their policy, we are trying to, we are means the plugins; are trying to use a kind of gray hat to get the images visible on our Facebook pages, the submission must go in this way :
