Telegram API - Create New Application Error

Question

I'm trying to register new app to use the Telegram API, but I'm aways getting ERROR message with no tips.

I fill the form and click submit and nothing happened:

form filled

And when click submit I'm getting error:

error

Nothing is shown in the browser console. What i'm doing wrong?

There's a similar post, but no solution.

Could anyone helps on this?

Thank you.

I noticed that there is a line says "Please make sure your users understand that your app is using our API and is part of the Telegram ecosystem — this must be mentioned in the app's description." in Obtaining_new_id To-dos. Following these instructions did not help, too — Vahid K., Jul 05 '16 at 11:23
Same issue, I just enabled add blocker and disabled it again. now It works :/ (Note: I'm still using VPN and I didn't write anything special in my app description) — amirhossein, Sep 20 '21 at 16:27
Worked in `Incognito` Chrome mode. It was an extension interference. — Artfaith, Jun 25 '22 at 21:58

For those who are still looking for this answer in 2021. The problem is probably that you are using VPN accessing https://my.telegram.org/apps I switched my off and it works now

I had this issue too. I disabled my Ad-Blocker and UBlock Origin, my VPN wasn't enabled - but I still received "ERROR" when submitting the form.

What did work was to open the url in incognito mode. It then worked first time.

Be careful about the "App title" and "Short name" values. "Short name" should be alpha-numeric, so don't use spaces. Example Form:

App title:deneme1508212358

Short name:deneme

URL:

Platform:Desktop

Tried this but It errored again, waited a little and resubmitted the form without changing anything and it worked! Used VPN + phone number which was not from the same country as of the VPN. – Shayan Aug 04 '22 at 17:13
Worth noting: for some reason even changing in Chrome from desktop to mobile page version does not help. Only visiting from an Android phone. Amazing site design. – Hi-Angel Mar 01 '23 at 01:36

My phone country numbr is +86(CN).

When I use a VPN in Singapore, it always return "ERROR".

And the problem is solved when I switched my VPN to Hong Kong.

So I wonder if it may detect the mobile phone country number and IP address?

Still, if you're not using a VPN, you can check the adds blocking and the "Short name" value (Which must be alpha-numeric).

I tried all these methods but only changing my VPN ip works for me.

It seems is an issue from my.telegram.org side, I kept clicking the Create Application button with the same information and on one of those attempts it worked, so I don't think it is a vpn or ad blocker issue, its an issue with the site, so keep trying until it works !!

You must use a proper url in order to use the telegram api. The telegram will provide you an api key from this site (Log in to your Telegram core: [https://my.telegram.org]). For further assistance kindly refer this [https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id]

Disabled your Ad-Blocker and UBlock Origin and it should work.

If you have a Mac:

Open Safari
Top Left, click Safari
Click Preferences in the drop-down menu
Click on Websites and where you see it says, "my.telegram.org" you can change it from "Block and Notify" to "Allow" and then refresh the telegram website and try it again.

You have to login to https://my.telegram.org/apps from the very that country where your phone number registered. I lived in another country and even using VPN to pretend I was in the correct country didn't help. I tried all possible browsers, even clean virtual machine. I created new telegram account using the phone number registered in the country I was at the moment and tried again. Everything worked like a charm from the very 1st attempt.

Check your device location and current session location. This should be the same. Use VPN and check telegram detects your location correctly. If that so, You are on.

VPN and Incognito Mode did not help me. I created new Telegram account based on the phone number of my current country where I am located (btw telegram app allows to use multiple accounts in the same app). Then I successfully logged in to the api website.

For those who use VPN, try to select the platform as "Web". I happened to solve the "error" issue by this way.
