I am sharing an url "https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/trend-tracking/jaitley-promises-robust-tax-regime-for-investors/articleshow/62741496.cms?utm_source=linkedin.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=TEST-LINKEDIN" via share api, but no image is picked up from the og:image tag (i.e. meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com" ).

But when i am trying to share the same url from linkedin admin page, it is picking up the image. This means that the image follows all the size-standards and other things required by linkedin.

Then why is the share api not picking up image url from the open graph tag.

If you think your share is properly formatted, but it's not working, first thing I would do is head on over to the LinkedIn Post Inspector, which will examine your URL and look for problems.

But, your URL does look right! Are you sharing like this, with proper URL encoding?

Because this link works for me! Take a look:

Sometimes you just need another pair of eyes on the same problem! Hope this helps!
