* WARNING CANNOT AUTHORISE AS NO CALLBACK URL SPECIFIED

Due to a change in twitter.com the Callback URL of the API APP being authorised must be specified.
Please specify the CALLBACK URL to either the Global API APP details on the SETTINGS tab, or
For the custom API APP details on the account details form
Is this a new API KEY set or old? If old, you will need to go into apps.twitter.com and set / extract the CALLBACK URL and enter it into the program. Either as the global key callback url (if you are using global key) or account specific (if using account specific)

If none of this makes sense, let me know how you created the API KEY (either manually or let the program do it ) and I can provide more indepth instructions

Ok, so the program created it before. But recently Twitter changed the rules.

Couple of options.
1) just get the program to create a new API KEY for you.
goto ACCOUNTS tab
check account
click CREATE APP KEY


2) login into the account that created the API APP KEY
apps.twitter.com

Select the API APP key you are using
click SETTINGS TAB
find the CALLBACK URL

Copy this and paste it into the app. Either:
a) SETTINGS TAB: global keys: callback url

b) or if just used for this account:
account details form: callback URL



I think you are probably using a global key, so (a)
