For page groups like galleries, it should always point to the main article. For accurate data, the canonical URLs for the social networks (link rel=”canonical” and og:url) must match or resolve to this URL.

The only supported way to use special characters (such as single or double quotes) is with an <a href="https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asp">HTML entity</a>. For example, <code>"headline": "&quot;Analyst&quot; found guilty of relying solely on "&quot;anecdata"&quot;"</code> will return a headline of <code>"Analyst" found guilty of relying solely on "anecdata"</code>. This is different from our guidance for metadata in <a href="https://docs.parse.ly/metadata-jsonld/#h-technical-caveats">JSON-LD</a>.</p> <p><strong>Values in the meta tags will appear literally inside Parse.ly Analytics.</strong> Remember that <em>all metadata is case-sensitive.</em> String values supplied here (specifically parsely-title, parsley-author, and parsely-section) as well as list values (specifically parsely-tags) will appear in Parse.ly analytics <em>exactly</em> as they are specified in the tag. As a result, make sure to use proper capitalization and specify the values as you expect them to appear. Values with variations (example: “John Smith” and “john smith”) will appear <em>separately</em> in the Dashboard causing duplication and skewed data.</p> <p><strong>The Parse.ly meta tags cannot be loaded asynchronously</strong>. The Parse.ly crawler will not execute JavaScript. It must be able to access the meta tags from the results of a single GET request.</p> </div>  <p class='a8c-docs-last-updated-text'>Last updated: December 03, 2024</p> </article>  </main> <footer class="a8c-docs-layout__main__content__footer"> <hr /> <p class="has-text-align-center a8c-docs-gutter-bottom-none font-small"> Documentation is licensed under a </p> <p class="has-text-align-center font-small"> <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"> Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License </a> </p> <div class="a8c-docs-automattic-block"> <p> <a href="https://automattic.com/"> An <span class="screen-reader-text">Automattic</span><svg class="svg-icon svg-icon-automattic" aria-hidden="true" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 200 15.4"><path d="M72.5 15.4c-5.1 0-8.4-3.7-8.4-7.5v-.4c0-3.9 3.3-7.5 8.4-7.5 5.1 0 8.4 3.6 8.4 7.5V8c0 3.8-3.3 7.4-8.4 7.4zm5.7-7.9c0-2.8-2-5.3-5.7-5.3s-5.7 2.5-5.7 5.3v.3c0 2.8 2 5.3 5.7 5.3s5.7-2.5 5.7-5.3v-.3z" fill="#3298CB"/><path d="M15 14.9l-1.9-3.6H4.7l-1.8 3.6H0L7.8.5H10l7.9 14.4H15zM8.8 3.3l-3.1 6h6.4l-3.3-6zm21.4 12.1c-5.2 0-7.6-2.8-7.6-6.5V.5h2.7V9c0 2.7 1.7 4.2 5.1 4.2 3.4 0 4.8-1.6 4.8-4.2V.5h2.7v8.4c0 3.6-2.3 6.5-7.7 6.5zM52.9 2.8v12.1h-2.7V2.8h-6.3V.5h15.3v2.2h-6.3zM105 14.9V3.5l-.7 1.3-6 10.1H97L91 4.8l-.7-1.3v11.4h-2.6V.5h3.7l5.7 9.9.7 1.2.7-1.2 5.6-9.9h3.7v14.4H105zm23.1 0l-1.9-3.6h-8.4l-1.8 3.6h-3L120.8.5h2.2l7.9 14.4h-2.8zm-6.2-11.6l-3.1 6h6.4l-3.3-6zm19.9-.5v12.1h-2.7V2.8h-6.3V.5h15.3v2.2h-6.3zm19.8 0v12.1h-2.7V2.8h-6.3V.5h15.3v2.2h-6.3zm12.9 12.1v-13c1.1 0 1.5-.6 1.5-1.4h1.1v14.4h-2.6zm23.8-10.3c-1.3-1.2-3.2-2.3-5.8-2.3-3.8 0-6 2.6-6 5.4V8c0 2.7 2.2 5.3 6.2 5.3 2.4 0 4.4-1.1 5.6-2.3l1.6 1.7c-1.6 1.6-4.3 2.9-7.4 2.9-5.4 0-8.7-3.5-8.7-7.4v-.6c0-3.9 3.6-7.6 8.9-7.6 3 0 5.8 1.3 7.3 2.9l-1.7 1.7zM74.3 5c.5.3.6 1 .3 1.5l-2.5 3.8c-.3.5-1 .6-1.5.3s-.6-1-.3-1.5l2.5-3.8c.4-.5 1-.6 1.5-.3z"/></svg> Creation </a> </p> </div>  </footer>  </div>  <div class="a8c-docs-layout__main__content__secondary"> <nav id="docs-toc-nav" class="a8c-docs-table-of-contents__sticky" aria-label="Table of Contents"> </nav> </div>  </div>  </div>  </div>  </div>  </div>   <script defer id="bilmur" data-provider="vip" data-service="k8s-a8c" src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/js/bilmur.min.js?m=202514"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://docs.parse.ly/wp-content/themes/a8c-docs/assets/build/main.js?m=1743786754g" ></script><script type="text/javascript" id="jetpack-stats-js-before"> /* <![CDATA[ */ _stq = window._stq || []; _stq.push([ "view", JSON.parse("{\"v\":\"ext\",\"blog\":\"209021633\",\"post\":\"2195\",\"tz\":\"0\",\"srv\":\"docs.parse.ly\",\"hp\":\"vip\",\"j\":\"1:14.4.1\"}") ]); _stq.push([ "clickTrackerInit", "209021633", "2195" ]); /* ]]> */ </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://stats.wp.com/e-202514.js" id="jetpack-stats-js" defer="defer" data-wp-strategy="defer"></script> </body> </html>
