Can't Create An App - It Refused

[CampCultClassic]

Hi, I just created a new twitter account for our new website. I added a twitter widget that requires an API code, secret word, etc.

I tried to create an app and got this rude message:

Error
We protect against potentially abusive behavior. Your request has been rejected for now. Please try again later or contact Platform Operations through https://support.twitter.com/forms/platform.

Why did I get this? How do I create an app for our festival’s twitter feed?

Apologies for the message; it could be clearer.

That said, I would suggest that you use the support page, and I can follow up on the ticket.

Thanks!

Can you lead me to the support page? I did send an email and got a generic response saying to post on the forum or that that was not the place to ask. (used link in the message)

Thanks.

Hi Patrice,
You do not need to create a Twitter account to display Tweets on your website. It is better to use a Twitter Timeline widget instead, which loads the latest Tweets onto your page using JavaScript.

I need to place a widget on a sidebar of a wordpress theme. The code created will not work in that instance. I need a widget.

You should be able to add the generated markup as a Text / HTML widget in WordPress.
