Failed to get a proxied URL for the image

meow_app · 2013-08-19T15:57:00.000Z

Seems image specific, only happens to certain images.
This image happens 100% down, but others work fine.

Erro: Failed to get a proxied URL for the image.
Link: http://minus.com/lqZTZ6X1rjZw6
Used: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards/validation/validator

Also how can we whitelist all wildcard subdomains for profiles on Minus? Example is http://john.minus.com

Thanks

Same problem here. Example: http://alero.com.ua/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/La_Scala_Y230_47_4f5f569abaf8c.jpg

I am getting the same problem too.

If there is an error will this prevent the twitter card from displaying at all?

gentakojima · 2013-08-22T08:19:59.000Z

Same problem on http://citius.usc.es/ (Summary card) and http://citius.usc.es/novidades/canle-citius/460 (Video card). That’s odd enough, because on the video card I get the image directly from youtube, and it seems to work fine there!

Edit: As of today, it’s working for local images (it was NOT working yesterday), but not for the youtube ones! What could be happening?

here is the meta:

Error:
Failed to get a proxied URL for the image.

What to do with it now?

Removing the underscores from my image link helped. That’s pretty absurd.

Sorry for the delay. In testing now, it seems to work. I did use this technique to help refresh stale cache content, if it’s helpful:

Hi @alerocomua,

When I run it now, i see “Denied by robots.txt”

Check this URL and search for robots.txt on how to configure your servers (or ask you sysadmins to configure it!)

Thanks!

Hi @ajbozdar!

I tested the validator against the following URL: http://ajbozdar.me/the-father-poem-by-ronald-ross/

It appears to work now. Please give it a shot and let me know.

Thanks!

Hey,
Glad to see there are finally some Twitter devs back on the scene.

I’ve been having mixed success with Twitter cards. Predominately the ‘proxied image’ error.

All referenced images are stored with Amazon S3. Some time the image will display correctly - at other times the same image will not display at all.

Just tried this URL -
http://www.furniturevillage.co.uk/Inventory/Upholstery/HTL-Dante/3-seater-sofa.aspx

And get the proxied image error.

Don’t suppose you can point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Richard.

Hey,

I have the same problem, with this URL:

Search Engine Journal – 3 May 13

"Look Ma, no pager!" Scaling a WordPress Media Network Without Losing Your...

I learned the hard way how to efficiently manage both small sites and large sites. My hope is that by outlining our best practices, it will help others.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but would really appreciate your help.

Getting errors with gallery cards http://www.liepajniekiem.lv/99443 and summary_large_image cards http://www.liepajniekiem.lv/99432, twitter doesn’t find images with error: “Failed to get a proxied URL for the image”, but image exist, maybe its problem with CloudFlare?

Hi guys,

I’m getting the same “Failed to get a proxied URL for the image” error.

I’m just testing the feature out as I think it’s pretty good so any help that could be provided would be great.

Thanks,
