What is LINE OGP Scraper?

LINE OGP Scraper retrieves a web page so LINE can read its Open Graph Protocol metadata. That metadata supplies the title, description, destination, and image used in a link preview instead of requiring LINE to infer a card from the visible page text.

The recorded user agent is facebookexternalhit/1.1;line-poker/1.0. Despite the facebookexternalhit portion, the line-poker marker identifies this bot as LINE preview traffic. Filters that match only the first token can misclassify it as a Meta request.

This fetch concerns the particular URL whose preview LINE needs, such as a link shared in a chat or submitted for a preview refresh. The source record does not describe a site-wide discovery crawler or publish a cache schedule. More than one request can still occur when LINE needs to refresh page metadata.

LINE OGP Scraper has no documented connection to generative search or model training. Allowing it can determine whether LINE users see the intended card for a link, but it does not provide a known path into AI answers or citations.

Indirectly relevant

Is LINE OGP Scraper relevant for AI search?

Indirectly. LINE OGP Scraper has no AI product of its own, but its output can end up in the systems that AI answers draw on.

LINE OGP Scraper fetches pages to build link-preview cards. It does not feed an AI index, but it reads the same Open Graph and structured metadata that AI systems parse to understand your pages, so clean preview metadata doubles as AI-friendly metadata.

How to handle LINE OGP Scraper

Keep line-poker reachable if links from your site should render previews in LINE. Return complete Open Graph tags in the initial HTML and make the selected image available without a login or browser-only challenge. If previews must be disabled, you can state that preference with:

User-agent: line-poker
Disallow: /

The record does not confirm that LINE OGP Scraper follows robots.txt. Check subsequent requests and the resulting preview rather than treating the stanza as enforcement. A server or edge rule is the reliable option when the page must not be fetched.

Examples

  • A reader pastes a news URL into a LINE chat. The server receives one request containing `line-poker/1.0`, and LINE uses the page's `og:title` and `og:image` values for the card.
  • A publisher replaces an article thumbnail and requests a preview refresh. LINE fetches that article again, while unrelated pages on the domain receive no requests from this job.
