Failed to get a proxied URL for the image

[iamBoiGenius]

I was able to validate, but I’m receiving the same error message too. (http://iamboigenius.com)

So after checking some of the links that have been posted. It seems the card image appears in some areas and not others.

If I look at the profile page and expend the card - no images is displayed.

However if I do a search that returns that same tweet - the card is displayed correctly - including the image.

Also - if I embed the tweet on another site - the image is pulled through correctly.

Can anyone shed any light on why this might be the case?

Thanks,
Richard.

I’m getting the same message. It did work sometimes, other times not. I thought it may be because the images were located in the next gen gallery, so I changed the images to be featured in the media gallery. It’s doing exactly the same as before; sometimes it works on the twitter card validator, other times not (9/10).

Same problem here.

If so many people are having the same problem of their Twitter Cards not showing up in their Tweets, why is nobody at Twitter admin moving in to help us?

My domain that is having the Twitter Cards problem is at: http://www.arkiq.com

Please advise what I should do in order to resolve the lack of Twitter Cards in my Tweets?

I had the same error message. We were using s3 and fixed the issue by making sure the content-type for the image was set as “image/jpeg” and NOT “image/jpg”.

Mine looks like this: image/jpeg jpeg jpg jpe

But Twitter Cards still won’t work for me.

My domain is: http://www.arkiq.com

@richarddcrosby Image dimensions seem to be a factor, see https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/19810. The linked twitter searches aren’t returning any hits by now, but you can check with any current tweets from the linked accounts.

Still receiving this error. Validating this url:

https://tattygram.com/btat2d/tattoos/5908-day-of-the-dead

Everything else is fine according to the validator. Tried twitter:image and twitter:image.src no change. Nothing wrong with robots.txt - putting in a blank one - that does not seem like solution - that seems like a hack for whatever is actually wrong.

Same issue here. Checked that robots.txt existed, and that htaccess wasn’t preventing access to images. Also tried twitter:image and twitter:image:src. No joy…
Here’s the markup:

“Failed to get a proxied URL for the image.” is definitely a problem for me too.

Website URL: http://dailyfusion.net/

Page URL: http://dailyfusion.net/2013/08/new-graphene-supercapacitor-almost-ready-for-commercial-development-16290/ (In fact, I tried to validate a dozen of my website pages, but every time I got the same result.)

It would be great if someone from the development team could look into it. I think that the Twitter Cards are a great idea, especially for media content. It is a pity that I still can’t take advantage of this feature. Thank you in advance for your help.

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

Both of these validated just fine for me.

I suggest you post your Tweet and the Twitter Card including image will most likely show up even though it failed in the validator.

If the Twitter Card does happen to fail in your Tweet, another trick is to leave the www out of the URL you Tweet because that might work, it worked for me.

If everything listed above fails and you still get no Twitter Card in your Tweet, you can delete your Tweet and wait for Twitter admin to assist you, I’ve been waiting for a very longtime here and have a feeling user to user support is the best you’re going to get unless your name is Microsoft as that is the only person I have seen here get a reply from Twitter admin in the last several days here in the Twitter Cards discussions forum.

God bless you Twitter Card using friend, it is people like you who make spending time on Twitter a worthwhile experience for me and for that I am thankful.

Same problem on all domains even for the one already approved for the sumary card.
Waiting for month now to get the video card approved hope it will work one day. First summary card was quite fast with 2 weeks waiting.

An update on my issue: the situation is getting better. Today, I have checked several links from my website in the Card Validator again. Some of them have been validated immediately (hooray!), some — only after the second attempt. And only a few still constantly yield a “Failed to get a proxied…” error. With this, however, I’m not secure whether my cards will display correctly after my website is approved.

On another forum, I found a recommendation to check the banlist of hosts and user agents. For Apache webservers it is created in the .htaccess file by webmasters (manually or with the help of “security plugins”, e.g. for WordPress and Drupal CMS). I didn’t tried this, but maybe someone will be able to test this assumption.

It looks like the image URL can’t have any underscore “_” or at symbol “@”

And we need the underscore in our URL.
