Crawler AJAX/escaped fragment support?

rchoi · 2013-11-19T18:44:57.000Z

Sorry, not available. But will let you know if we do.

Thanks!

Facebook & Google both handle AJAX fragments.

Would be nice if Twitter too, especially with the increasing popularity of AJAX frameworks such Angular.js.

You just have to transform the “#!..” pattern to a “?escaped_fragment=…” string before crawling the page.

I have no doubt that Twitter engineers could achieve this feature in a reasonable amount of time

I support getting this feature on the development roadmap.

With the resize of front-end frameworks, like Angular and Backbone, this is a really essential feature of modern crawlers.

Please make it a priority, Twitter!

Is there any known workaround for twittercards to work with the #! ?

Please Twitter, give this priority! Or at least a workaround:

Implementing this shouldn't be too hard ;)

Hello!

Any update on this?

DenisTRUFFAUT · 2014-01-31T16:31:00.000Z

@tecteun It is best for Twitter to follow the full spec (handle #! fragments or detect a ), but indeed, a cheap “twitter:crawl_url” parameter should complete the job for free.

As of today, the Twitterbot will support hashbangs by converting to “escaped_fragment.”

Still getting “Invalid card time” from the card validator for my #! URLs, and looking at my server logs the bot is still hitting the wrong URLs, without the #! (obviously, local dynamic part) but without the escaped_fragment param too

odra_ti · 2014-03-05T16:33:42.000Z

Sorry the invalid card still continuing

zealous_co · 2014-03-12T17:13:42.000Z

We tried testing this link on the card validator http://www.zealous.co/#!project;id=5701808034938880 it doesn’t hit the escaped fragment version of the site. It should look something like this give you this result when shared http://www.zealous.co/?escaped_fragment=project;id=5701808034938880.

Could you confirm this hasn’t been done yet, or if it has that it’s a current bug on Twitter?

We’re very excited to start using cards properly!

Cheers,

Guy

Could you provide a couple example URLs for us to investigate?

Ah, just noticed the following URL on a related thread, but if you have any others to share, feel free. http://www.laurareyero.com/retrato/?escaped_fragment=LR_081209_01

Coquevas · 2014-04-23T15:44:16.000Z

Now it’s working, It accepted the URLs and I could request the approval, but I got instant rejection mail. Now I re-requested it and waiting for approval. Thanks!

jbulava · 2014-04-25T04:47:52.000Z

Ok great!

Hi Zealous Co,

Over the weekend, we rolled out a change to fix issues with escaped fragments. I now see the appropriate gallery cards when I tweet http://www.zealous.co/#!project;id=5701808034938880 and http://www.zealous.co/#!project;id=6327994469580800. Please let me know if you are experiencing any further issues.
