I try to use RGoogleDocs and get
Error: Forbidden
I have two-step verification on: is there a work-around?
sheets.con = getGoogleDocsConnection(getGoogleAuth(user, ps, service = "wise"))
Error: Forbidden
Relevant question
The getGoogleAuth of RGoogleDocs package is based on an officially deprecated ClientLogin to connect google server, see https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/AuthForInstalledApps?csw=1
You may use the application password of google as a try.
Another way is just use the url of you google docs to visit certain contents, see http://www.r-bloggers.com/access-google-spreadsheet-directly-in-bash-and-in-r/
Update：
In the source code of getGoogleAuth, the author used an application called 'R-GoogleDocs-0.1', you may apply an new application and get the token. Then I think you could use the token and the api from google to access google docs directly in R. However, such hacks almost mean update/rewrite RGoogleDocs package.

I'm trying to connect to db in Azure Data Explorer from R using AzureKusto library. Following this documentation https://github.com/Azure/AzureKusto, after calling kusto_database_endpoint(...) function I need to open a browser page and insert the printed code manually. There's a way to skip this manual step and do it automatically? Or there are alternatives for connecting to ADX db?
Thanks for the help!
Co-creator of the package here. Thank you for the question. Yes, you can use the get_kusto_token function to obtain a token and then pass it to kusto_database_endpoint as the .query_token argument. get_kusto_token supports the following authentication flows:
"authorization_code"
"device_code"
"client_credentials"
"resource_owner"
For example, if you have an AAD application service principal that has access to the Azure Data Explorer cluster, you can use its ID and secret to authenticate:
# authenticate using client_credentials method: see ?AzureAuth::get_azure_token
token <- get_kusto_token("https://mycluster.kusto.windows.net",
tenant="mytenant",
authtype="client_credentials",
app="myappid",
password="myclientsecret")
kusto_database_endpoint(server = "mycluster.kusto.windows.net",
database = "mydb",
.query_token=token)
The help page ?AzureKusto::get_kusto_token provides more detailed information on this. Also, please note that the get_kusto_token function is a wrapper around AzureAuth::get_azure_token. The readme for the AzureAuth R package has more detailed examples of other methods of obtaining an Azure access token: https://github.com/Azure/AzureAuth
I've verified my API in RStudio after hours of trying and now I've reached another error while trying to translate a sentence. Would be grateful for any help!
I'm just trying to translate "hello" to french using googleLanguageR package -
> gl_translate("Hello", "fr")
The result I get is this -
2021-01-21 17:15:36 -- Translating text: 5 characters -
i 2021-01-21 17:15:36 > Request Status Code: 403
Error: API returned: Request had insufficient authentication scopes.
I'm a literal beginner in the field of computing and do not understand what scopes mean here.
Thanks for the help!
Scopes are permissions that you give to apps you use to access an API. For example, one App might have permission to read the private messages of a users, whereas another doesn't. It's similar to when an app on your phone asks for permission to use the camera, or access your contacts.
Your app is trying to do something that it doesn't have permission to do. You'll need to add the relevant scopes in whatever setting that it is where you're generating keys etc. Presumably Google Data Studio?
Okay, I found an answer.
I needed to download a json version of my key and authorize it using the code -
gl_auth("filename.json")
After doing this, I needed to make sure my API is enabled. Now, it is working perfectly!
I'm trying to get data from my GA account using R. I've managed to do this with RGoogleAnalytics package. Unfortunetally I have a problem with authentication on production server. Everything works but I have to refresh token each day (and it is not acceptable for me). I've read about need of refresh_token but I have no idea how to obtain it using this package... What I did is:
library("RGoogleAnalytics")
client.id <- "XXX"
client.secret <- "XXX"
token <- Auth(client.id, client.secret)
save(token, file = "./auth/token")
load("./auth/token")
ValidateToken(token)
It works only for few hours (when token is valid) and the next day I get the error: Error: Refresh token not available. How to get this refresh token? Auth function does not seem to give it to me and after reading whole Internet I still have no idea how to deal with it. Could you help?
the RGoogleAnalytics package gives an easy way to extract the Google Analytics Data. but I think you should consider other packages that are more up to date and that are a little bit 'easier' to deal with(like the googleAnalyticsR package)
In my experience, practically all google services need this 'authentication' when using the API, and generally, the token expires, however, it is possible to generate a 'permanent token'.
This form for this 'permanent token' is a little 'hard', but once learned, you will be able to apply it in a similar way to most of Google's API services!
In summary, you need to create a project there in the GCP (Google Cloud console) to create an authentication key :
I recommend reading this first:
https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication
In the documentation link below, you can find a step by step for this authentication for the RgoogleAnalytics package.

I have an experiment in AzureML which has a R module at its core. Additionally, I have some .RData files stored in Azure blob storage. The blob container is set as private (no anonymous access).
Now, I am trying to make a https call from inside the R script to the azure blob storage container in order to download some files. I am using the httr package's GET() function and properly set up the url, authentication etc...The code works in R on my local machine but the same code gives me the following error when called from inside the R module in the experiment
error:1411809D:SSL routines:SSL_CHECK_SERVERHELLO_TLSEXT:tls invalid ecpointformat list
Apparently this is an error from the underlying OpenSSL library (which got fixed a while ago). Some suggested workarounds I found here were to set sslversion = 3 and ssl_verifypeer = 1, or turn off verification ssl_verifypeer = 0. Both of these approaches returned the same error.
I am guessing that this has something to do with the internal Azure certificate / validation...? Or maybe I am missing or overseeing something?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

After a while, an answer came back from the support team, so I am going to post the relevant part as an answer here for anyone who lands here with the same problem.
"This is a known issue. The container (a sandbox technology known as "drawbridge" running on top of Azure PaaS VM) executing the Execute R module doesn't support outbound HTTPS traffic. Please try to switch to HTTP and that should work."
As well as that a solution is on the way :
"We are actively looking at how to fix this bug. "

I would like to use httr to link up/upload my R image outputs to flickr, but am having difficulty with the initial stages where i need to authenticate myself using OAuth 1.0.
I previously created an app by going to the following link http://www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/apply/
and then got a secret and key string for that app...
I then used it in the httr package function to get a token but to no avail. I have been trying to use the provided documentation on this link http://www.flickr.com/services/api/auth.oauth.html to help out but, I am struggling...
The following is the code I used.
flickr.app <- oauth_app("flickr",key="xxxxxx", secret="xxxxxxxx")
flickr.urls <- oauth_endpoint(request="http://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/request_token",
authorize="http://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/authorize",
access="http://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/access_token")
flickr.token <- oauth1.0_token(flickr.urls,flickr.app)
from which i get the error message
Error: http client error (400)
Not too sure where to go from here...any help would be much appreciated.
N.B. Also I recognise that due to the nature of setting up api links, that there are secrets , api-keys, logins and passwords that need to be kept secret etc, but it does not take long to set up a dummy flickr account from www.flickr.com , to be able to reproduce the problem...in my opinion...perhaps others could try setting one up and letting me know if they got similar issues, and potential methods to work around the situation?
I have never used the httr library, but I recently (as of yesterday) just finished writing from scratch Objective-C code to access Flickr. The biggest pain point for me was figuring out how to correctly encode the signature. I don't know the httr library well enough, but if I had to guess my guess would be that it is not encoding the signature properly.
If you read through this: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/auth.oauth.html
You will find very detailed instructions on how to authorize with Flickr - it was useful to me because I wrote the code in Objective C from scratch. Might be less useful to you unless you are able to debug through the httr source and figure out if it is doing things exactly as Flickr expects.
