Search

Published: 2023-08-24

We have already imported the Haramizu.com Meta data and added items that are readily available in the Starter Kit. This time, we will review the crawler settings to make the data look nicer.

Current Tagger settings

The standard description is as follows: The XPath set in Rule value can be used to check the items on each page using Xpath Helper.

Attribute

Rule type

Rule value

description

Expression

//meta[@property='og:description']/@content

image_url

Expression

//meta[@property='og:image']/@content

name

Expression

//meta[@property='og:title']/@content

type

Expression

//meta[@property='og:type']/@content

url

Expression

//meta[@property='og:url']/@content

If you go to the blog post, you will find the following meta tags in this blog

HTML
<meta property="search_image" content="blog image URL">

In fact, og:image specifies the URL to dynamically generate an image with the blog's title, so that the Hero image used in the blog can be extracted from this URL. For this reason, the image_url field above should be rewritten as follows

//meta[@property='search_image']/@content

Then you will find the following Meta tags as separate items

HTML
<meta property="article:published_time" content="2023-07-28T10:00+09:00">

This field lists the publication time of the blog; click Add Extractor to add the following items.

//meta[@property='article:published_time']/@content

Set Title to the same value as Name and Subtitle to the same value as Description. In fact, the Starter Kit does not use the name field, but uses the additionally created Title and Subtitle attributes, so it is necessary to add these two.

Once the above settings are complete, click the Publish button and the crawl will begin to run using the new settings.
