Programatically set the Social data

[jameswtc]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but this is the only channel I could get help regarding this Add-Ons.

I'd like to set the social data programatically using the PHP API. We have a scheduler which imports products from external sources and each of them have picture which should be shown when sharing on social media platform. How do I set the og:title, og:description, and og:image using the PHP API? Also the same for Twitter, etc.

Thanks!

James

Hi @jameswtc,

The SEO data is stored in the entry the same way as other fields so you can set this data programatically by setting the:

• meta_title
• meta_description
• og_image
• og_title
• og_description
• twitter_title
• twitter_description

fields when creating the entry.

It's worth noting that the og title/description will get inherited from the meta_title and meta_description fields (and the same for the twitter fields).

Hope this helps, Andrew
