MetaInpector Changelog

Changes in 4.6

Faraday can be passed options via :faraday_options. This is useful in cases where we need to customize the way we request the page, like for example disabling SSL verification, like this:

MetaInspector.new('https://example.com')
# Faraday::SSLError: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

MetaInpector.new('https://example.com', faraday_options: { ssl: { verify: false } })
# Now we can access the page

Changes in 4.5

  • The Document API now includes access to head/link elements

    • page.head_links returns an array of hashes of all head/links.
    • page.stylesheets returns head/links where rel='stylesheet'
    • page.canonicals returns head/links where rel='canonical'

  • The URL API can remove common tracking parameters from the querystring

    • url.tracked? will tell you if the url contains known tracking parameters
    • url.untracked_url will return the url with known tracking parameters removed
    • url.untrack! will remove the tracking parameters from the url

  • The images API has been extended:

    • page.images.with_size returns a sorted array (by descending area) of [image_url, width, height]

Changes in 4.4

The default headers now include 'Accept-Encoding' => 'identity' to minimize trouble with servers that respond with malformed compressed responses, as explained here.

Changes in 4.3

  • The Document API has been extended with one new method page.best_title that returns the longest text available from a selection of candidates.
  • to_hash now includes scheme, host, root_url, best_title and description.

Changes in 4.2

  • The images API has been extended, with two new methods:

    • page.images.owner_suggested returns the OG or Twitter image, or nil if neither are present.
    • page.images.largest returns the largest image found in the page. This uses the HTML height and width attributes as well as the fastimage gem to return the largest image on the page that has a ratio squarer than 1:10 or 10:1. This usually provides a good alternative to the OG or Twitter images if they are not supplied.

  • The criteria for page.images.best has changed slightly, we'll now return the largest image instead of the first image if no owner-suggested image is found.

Changes in 4.1

  • Introduces the :normalize_url option, which allows to disable URL normalization.

Changes in 4.0

  • The links API has been changed, now instead of page.links, page.internal_links and page.external_links we have:
page.links.raw      # Returns all links found, unprocessed
page.links.all      # Returns all links found, unrelavitized and absolutified
page.links.http     # Returns all HTTP links found
page.links.non_http # Returns all non-HTTP links found
page.links.internal # Returns all internal HTTP links found
page.links.external # Returns all external HTTP links found

  • The images API has been changed, now instead of page.image we have page.images.best, and instead of page.favicon we have page.images.favicon.

  • Now page.image will return the first image in page.images if no OG or Twitter image found, instead of returning nil.

  • You can now specify 2 different timeouts, connection_timeout and read_timeout, instead of the previous single timeout.

Changes in 3.0

  • The redirect API has been changed, now the :allow_redirections option will expect only a boolean, which by default is true. That is, no more specifying :safe, :unsafe or :all.
  • We've dropped support for Ruby < 2.

Also, we've introduced a new feature:

  • Persist cookies across redirects. Now MetaInspector will include the received cookies when following redirects. This fixes some cases where a redirect would fail, sometimes caught in a redirection loop.
