## Alternatively, it is also possible to create a token without the handshake:

consumer_secret = "CONSUMER_SECRET",
access_token="ACCESS_TOKEN",
access_token_secret = "ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET")
## capture 10 tweets mentioning the "Rstats" hashtag
filterStream( file.name="tweets_rstats.json",
track="rstats", tweets=10, oauth=my_oauth )
## capture tweets published by Twitter's official account
filterStream( file.name="tweets_twitter.json",
follow="783214", timeout=600, oauth=my_oauth )
## capture tweets sent from New York City in Spanish only, and saving as an object in memory
tweets <- filterStream( file.name="", language="es",
locations=c(-74,40,-73,41), timeout=600, oauth=my_oauth )
## capture tweets mentioning the "rstats" hashtag or sent from New York City
