    This text entry requires a URL. I have the validation set up to do so, but can it tell if its a valid url? Lets say user enters in their social media account like twitter, I need it to check to see if the URL is a valid (public) profile. How can I do this?

    The URL validation opton will only validate the text entry if its a correct or valid URL format of text. It will not validate if its an account or data.

    You may want to check Social Share widget instead here https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/social_share

    This widget will allow you to get data of social media account(profile) using the form.
