No. It doesnt.

JimODonnell2 · 2013-11-17T19:00:46.000Z

That doesnt work either.

JimODonnell2 · 2013-11-17T19:04:56.000Z

No matter what I try I still get the “not a valid url format”.

What up? Frustrating as hell to try to do something this simple and it becomes so complicated.

Now it says this website (my own site) has already been take for another app…so I go to my applications page and find that … I dont have any applications. So what app has it been taken for? Its my own damn site!!!

After so much frustration, Found a Solution!!

I was trying to do it and always getting url error. No matter what type of combinations i did. (using Chrome)

Then try on Internet explorer v.11 and no luck then I tried on a different computer using an older version of Internet explorer and !! taraaaa (I left blank the call back url on my first try in this computer and it worked. I also tried living it blank in my previous attempts but did not work) So I guess we are doing the right thing, and is just our browsers messing up with our patience. Good luck

I get the same error no matter which browser I use!

AndyIbanezK · 2014-03-15T19:26:03.000Z

Someone please enlighten me and tell me why isn’t http://box.mignori.com/twitter_login.php a valid callback URL.

SchmitzIT · 2014-03-16T15:32:35.000Z

This issue seems to prevail for new TLDs. We tried entering click.singles as the domain name, and we get the same error.

@universe
So I was having the same URL format error.
I am using Chrome (this is not a browser issue - so leave the browser talk at the door)
I am developing locally but my problem was I put http://localhost:3000 (I am building with meteor)
and my callback URL was http://127.0.0.1:3000/_oauth/twitter?close

SOLUTION: the problem was my local was using localhost and not http://127.0.0.1:3000
Just use that to match your callback and you’ll be good to go
http://127.0.0.1:3000
http://127.0.0.1:3000/_oath/twitter?close

and Wamo! You are rocking and rolling. The answer was on this threat but it was not obvious.
I just made the solution more obvious and hopes it helps

FrancisPang · 2014-03-29T03:10:58.000Z

Yes! Switched to IE9 and everything is already now!

Would this be the solution to the issue highlighted at https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/26806#comment-form?

Thanks.

Hi,

I just tried setting up an app, but when entering the website’s URL (which is click.singles), it throws an error that it’s not a valid URL. I have a feeling the new TLDs have not yet been taken into consideration.

Could this be changed, please?

Thanks!

AllstateBev · 2014-04-29T02:17:22.000Z

Try changing the app name to something more specific (from “website” to “website for xyz”)
It says the issue is with the URL, but changing the application name worked for me.

It worked! Thanks!
