Tumblr Metadata Tags

Question

Are there metadata tags for sharing content on Tumblr? For example, Facebook uses Open Graph, there are Twitter cards, and Pinterest has Rich Pins. How can I specify the title and subheading that appear when someone shares content from my site on Tumblr?

Answer 1

It seems that Tumblr use Facebook Open Graph Protocol to scrape pages

Things to remember:

• Title is scraped from <title>
• Description is scraped from <meta name="description" content="{content}" />
• No matter what the size of og:image is, Tumblr will resize it and save a 500px by 500px image on its servers and use it in {Thumbnail} theme operator.
• Tumblr OG scraper gets more than title, description and thumbnail, it gets most of the OG tags so refer to the Documentation of Open Graph Protocol
