## The following example shows how to capture a user's home timeline
## with the Streaming API and using authentication via the ROAuth
## package, with fictitious consumerkey and consumer secret.
## You can obtain your own at dev.twitter.com
library(ROAuth)
requestURL <- "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token"
accessURL <- "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token"
authURL <- "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize"
consumerKey <- "xxxxxyyyyyzzzzzz"
consumerSecret <- "xxxxxxyyyyyzzzzzzz111111222222"
my_oauth <- OAuthFactory$new(consumerKey=consumerKey,
consumerSecret=consumerSecret, requestURL=requestURL,
accessURL=accessURL, authURL=authURL)
my_oauth$handshake(cainfo = system.file("CurlSSL", "cacert.pem", package = "RCurl"))
## Alternatively, it is also possible to create a token without the handshake:
my_oauth <- list(consumer_key = "CONSUMER_KEY",
consumer_secret = "CONSUMER_SECRET",
access_token="ACCESS_TOKEN",
access_token_secret = "ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET")
## Capturing 10 tweets from a user's timeline
userStream( file.name="my_timeline.json", with="followings",
tweets=10, oauth=my_oauth )
# }
