Telegram API - Create New Application Error

Question

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

I fill the form and click submit and nothing happened:

And when click submit I'm getting error:

Nothing is shown in the browser console. What am I doing wrong?

There's a similar post, but no solution.

Could anyone help on this?

Kelvin

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 – Certificate

the same problem. can't find any solution. – Groves

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) – Duvetyn

Worked in Incognito Chrome mode. It was an extension interference. – Cesaro

Answer 1

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

Nombles

Had to disable uBlock to make it work, but idea is the same as in this answer. – Avebury

I have disabled my vpn but still not working – Dustcloth

This was definitely the case for me. Removed VPN settings from my MAC and it worked without any hiccup – Uninterrupted

It doesn't work for all countries . specially Iran . – Aggiornamento

The Telegram is filtered in Iran. how can I connect without VPN ! – Waken

@Waken If you use WARP, in most cases it give you the Iran IP but telegram also is accessible – Clanton

@MostafaNorouzi i used Iran vpn bul also i can not create an API Key – Waken

@Waken I guess Telegram changed the rules and now checks the number too. Yesterday I spent some hours on it with no clue. Finally made it with Foreign number from Italy. – Clanton

Answer 2

Try it with your phone. It worked for me.

Answer 3

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

Description:

Subclavian

For me this is the answer, the name should be in that format – Tussis

This was the issue for me as well. I think the developers are too lazy put error specific messages there. :p – Trinia

Surprisingly, I convert all the uppercase characters to lowercase, and the creation turned success... don't know why – Expect

Answer 4

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.

Abrade

Exactly, my case is cause Ad-block. i had turn off and working – Paba

Answer 5

Do not use the web from Computer! use any cellphone android or ios phone and use the web.

Unsuccessful

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. – Agentive

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. – Vamp

Answer 6

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.

Yeah, both Hong Kong and Taiwan IP works for +86 – Soliz

Answer 7

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 !!

Answer 15

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]

Answer 16

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

If you have a Mac:

1. Open Safari
2. Top Left, click Safari
3. Click Preferences in the drop-down menu
4. 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.

Answer 17

Just try to create new Telegram APP from different network, for example, connect to VPN or use you mobile carrier internet connection to do it. It worked for me.

Answer 18

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.

Answer 19

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.

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

Answer 24

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.

Answer 28

I attempted to create a Telegram app using both Chrome and Edge browsers, but was unsuccessful in my initial attempts. The phone number I used for verification is a USA Google Voice number.

However, when I switched to Safari and tried once more, the process initially failed. But upon persistently clicking the 'Create' button 2 to 3 times, I was finally able to successfully create the app.

IP address should be consist with the phone number. I use proxy with the USA ip address and created tg app successfully in Safari.
