Callback URL

hnyb1002 · 2012-07-01T10:11:22.000Z

We have to fill up the URL that contains the application address in order to gain API Keys

I am facing the same problem! “Not a valid URL format” shows up each time when trying to register an app. Any solutions yet?

Update:

Okay, I just figured out that the problem refers to the Website URL and not to the Callback URL. This not really intuitive since the description also allows a placeholder.

If anybody faces the same problem just give a valid url like http://somthing.com as Website URL.

I am giving callback url, but after authorisation it is redirecting to some other url why?

incomprehensible

Really the callback URL is vital, it can change the happenings!!

I have just found that the ‘not a valid url’ message was actually referring to the web address for the application and that it wasn’t a problem with the callback url all along. Hope that is helpful to someone.

Where do I change the callback url, by the way? I am having to create a new application each time I want to change it at the moment.

In .Net using Linq2Twitter, I realised that my code was automatically setting my code to localhost just by calling the current request - I had to change it in code to match the callback that I set in my application.

what is the call back url and why it is used to find the latest tweet in our site

At both website and callback url, make sure you enter http://www. I have just put in my website homepage there

ns_bets · 2013-06-11T04:44:22.000Z

Put http://www.yoursitehere.com on both and that would be it!

where do I go to get a callback url?

Limerick2030 · 2013-10-22T09:56:46.000Z

nobody said it would be easy i guess. We’re going to enter our site url as both the ‘website’ and the ‘callback url’. Fingers crossed.

ielramley · 2013-12-01T21:51:00.000Z

make sure to put http:// or https:// before your www url address for both the web site and the call back url. it should work

Filly qualified address includes the http:// or https://

good luck

Hello everyone,

I have a little problem with my callback URL : the connection to Twitter works well ( I’m redirected to Twitter login page, okay) but when I’m connected, it doesn’t redirect me to my callback url.

Is that normal ? I missed something or … ?

EDIT : Okay I found my error, it works ^^

This is pretty incomprehensible. Why doesn’t someone from twitter or the documentation please just explain what the callback URL is? What’s supposed to be at the other end of that URL? Do I just make something up, and it magically works? If so, what’s the point?

I’ve been a developer for 20 years, so this is not a “clueless new dev” situation. This is a “your documentation is so lacking as to be utterly worthless” situation.

It obviously has something to do with the oAuth process, but just as obviously there’s no documentation as to what it’s supposed to be and whether or not it’s required for non-web situations (connecting for Twitter login via Parse.com for a client’s app, in my case).

If you want people to use your framework for login (and you clearly do) then why the heck don’t you provide ACTUAL INSTRUCTIONS for making use of it??!

Frustrating as hell.

Hate twitter just a little more today than I did yesterday.

Spectacular job on the developer relations front, team.

@SpikeJones8

Honestly it gets pretty confusing at times.
