"Website: Not a valid URL format" when creating an application of twitter

Question

I'd like to create an application that can integrate with Twitter. So I went to the website: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new to create an application.

But the WebSite: field always failed. It said that "Website: Not a valid URL format". I tried different "valid" URLs, but failed.

Do you have any ideas on the twitter application?

Thanks in advance. Michael

Solution 1

Mine is working. Save it in this format http://url.com. Even this domain.com works.

You can try doing it in a different browser, logout and login.

Solution 2

I was trying to set localhost URL and got the same error message.

After replacing

http://localhost http://localhost/twitter/callback

with

http://127.0.0.1 http://127.0.0.1/twitter/callback

it let me saved my test application

Solution 3

In my case the problem was in trailing whitespace from copy/paste.

Solution 4

One easy mistake to make is both the callback url and website need to start with http://

This worked for me:

WebSite: http://example.com

CallbackURL: http://example.com/auth/twitter/callback/

Solution 5

I'm able to make applications if I include "http://" at the beginning. Also it might be something browser related (I'm using Chrome) so check that.

Might help if you told us what you put in which failed.

It's easy to reproduce the issue in the website I mentioned above. Just input any words for the application name, description, and then the website. It will fail, anyway.

I tried many times, and it failed every time, even with a valid URL.

if your URL is "something.com" make it "something.com"
