Error param in callback is not an error object

[tmaslen]

Hello,

Really liking openGraphScraper and finding it useful in my project, thanks for making it.

When I get the occasional error from a graph request, an error object is passed but its not a standard JavaScript error. In the documentation it shows dealing with an error like this...

console.log("err:",err);

But this will output as err: err when there is an error.

Is there any chance you could throw a more meaningful error message or give a clearer indication of what is happening when the requested webpage has a problem?

Thanks again for making openGraphScraper,

Hi,

I read code of openGraphScraper and found this :

callback('err',{ success: false, err: 'Invalid URL' })

So if you have err, you can have more info in the second parameter results, like in example :

ogs(options, function(err, results) {
    console.log("err:",err);
    console.log("results:",results);
    console.log("message error:",results.err);
});

YoannB is right, you have to look in the 'results' object to see the real error.
