Description

Spec defines it here.

I think we should scrape og:image:secure_url and fallback to og:image:url if the first one fails.
Sample webpage here.

Research direction

Locate the existing Open Graph image extraction in the Python scraper and compare it with the linked sample page. Verify that og:image:secure_url is preferred and og:image:url is used as a fallback when needed; the work is done when both fields are handled without breaking existing image extraction.
