I am attempting to access the fitbit API using ROAuth but keep falling at the first hurdle.
Here is my code:
library(ROAuth)
reqURL <- "https://api.fitbit.com/oauth/request_token"
accessURL <- "https://api.fitbit.com/oauth/access_token"
authURL <- "https://www.fitbit.com/oauth/authorize"
cKey <- "xxxxx"
cSecret <- "xxxxx"
credentials <- OAuthFactory$new(consumerKey=cKey,
consumerSecret=cSecret,
requestURL=reqURL,
accessURL=accessURL,
authURL=authURL)
credentials$handshake()
Running this gives the following rather cryptic error:
Error in strsplit(response, "&") : non-character argument
Any suggestions, greatly appreciated!
Following the suggestion of #hadley rather than solving the ROAuth problem, I have switched to using the httr package instead. The code in this question worked for me.

I know literally zero about the R programming language and have come to an impasse where I am truly and utterly stuck.
I've borrowed lots of other peoples code and have been busy debugging placing in additional libraries that are not contained within the help text of the packages to get to a point I feel is tantalisingly close.
That said I simply cannot get R to correctly authorise a twitter search or OAuth Connection.
I run my code, it throws up the following error screen.
Alongside that in the R-Compiler the error message of
twitCred$handshake() To enable the connection, please direct your web
browser to:
http://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=r4VjQQAAAAAA4-K7AAABYlMXEws
When complete, record the PIN given to you and provide it here:
registerTwitterOAuth(twitCred) Error: Forbidden
I read that there can be issues with the call back if the weblinks within the code do not read https:// and are left with http:// so that has been amended accordingly to no avail.
My twitter settings are as follows
I followed the advice laid down in this thread but it didn't seem to help or I did something I wasn't supposed to.... StackOverflow Support Article
So here is my code please shout if you can see the obvious to you not to me error or can offer some advice.

The duplications of API keys are meant to be there as I have tried so many connection advice threads and am lost now on the hows whys and wherefores...
You can use the twitteR package for data mining Twitter.
Please find the below code for your reference.
install.packages('twitteR')
install.packages('ROAuth')
install.packages("RCurl")
library(twitteR)
require("ROAuth")
require("RCurl")
download.file(url="http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem",destfile="cacert.pem")
t_consumer_key<- 'YOUR CONSUMER KEY'
t_consumer_secret<- 'YOUR CONSUMER SECRET KEY'
t_access_token<- 'YOUR ACCESS TOKEN'
t_access_secret <- 'YOUR ACCESS SECRET'
setup_twitter_oauth(t_consumer_key,t_consumer_secret,t_access_token,t_access_secret)
list <- searchTwitter("iphone")
If you click on the link in below image you will get all the API keys
I am attempting to set up a tweet sentiment analysis tool in R, however I keep getting errors in relation to 0Auth not completing it's handshake.
it's using a tutorial that I found online, however I'm new to R and coding in general so I'm stumped.
Any light that can be shed on this would be much appreciated:
install.packages("twitteR")
install.packages("plyr")
install.packages("stringr")
install.packages("ggplot2")
install.packages("streamR")
library(twitteR)
library(ROAuth)
library(plyr)
library(stringr)
library(ggplot2)

Have you tried looking at the creators github page:(https://github.com/geoffjentry/twitteR/blob/master/README.md) It's an easier way to do it. You will also need to install Rtools if you are going to do it this way. Here is a youtube link that shows you how to install Rtools(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enPPMHr5SrM) it is in Chinese but you can still follow what this guy is doing. I hope this helps.
I am using R and want to use the twitteR package available on CRAN.
I installed the twitteR package using:
install.packages(twitteR)
then loaded the package with:
library(twitteR)
after that I wanted to run the first command to get the latest trends on twitter with:
getTrends(period="weekly")
which showed following error:
Error in getTrends(period = "weekly") :
argument "woeid" is missing, with no default
Also the command:
searchTwitter("#orms")
showed an error, namely:
Error in twInterfaceObj$doAPICall(cmd, params, "GET", ...) :
OAuth authentication is required with Twitter's API v1.1
And also for the command:
userTimeline("informs")
there was an error output:
Error in twInterfaceObj$doAPICall(cmd, params, method, ...) :
OAuth authentication is required with Twitter's API v1.1
What is the reason for that? From my research so far I figured out, it has something to do with oauth. But actually I don't know, what oauth is, and how to configure it, so I can properly use the twitteR package.
Could please anybody provide me some help for this issue??
Thank you very much in advance for your support.
With best regards!!!
1/ You'll need to load ROAuth, which is a dependency of twitteR. See the twitter CRAN docs. http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/twitteR/twitteR.pdf
Depends: ... ROAuth (>= 0.9.3) ...
2/ You'll need to authenticate as per the below. See pg12 of the twitteR CRAN docs:
## A real example, but using a fictitious consumerkey and consumer
## secret - you’ll need to supply your own
reqURL <- "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token"
accessURL <- "http://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token"
authURL <- "http://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize"
consumerKey <- "12345pqrst6789ABCD"
consumerSecret <- "abcd1234EFGH5678ijkl0987MNOP6543qrst21"
twitCred <- OAuthFactory$new(consumerKey=consumerKey,
consumerSecret=consumerSecret,
requestURL=reqURL,
accessURL=accessURL,
authURL=authURL)
twitCred$handshake()
registerTwitterOAuth(twitCred)
In general, you should try to search error messages over the CRAN docs of your package - the answer will often be self-contained.
I am using the streamR package to pull tweets from the Twitter Streaming API. This was working fine till recently. Now - I am getting the error whenever I do a handshake.
> library(ROAuth)
> reqURL <- "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token"
> accessURL <- "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token"

> my_oauth$handshake(cainfo = system.file("CurlSSL", "cacert.pem", package = "RCurl"))
Error: Unauthorized
I have tried recreating a new application on dev.twitter.com and I still get the same error. I have tried changing the callback URL and the access levels - but no use. I have also tried using the master branch of ROAuth from github. Any idea where I am going wrong? I am using R 3.0.1
I had the same problem. The following sequence of commands solved the problem:
consumerKey <- ...
consumerSecret <- ...
twitCred <- getTwitterOAuth(consumer_key= consumerKey, consumer_secret=consumerSecret)
searchTwitter()
Notice I didn't use registerTwitterOAuth(twitCred). I think if you wanna save and later load twitCred you have to use registerTwitterOAuth(twitCred) after loading.
I hope this helps.
P.S. Since I am using a Mac, I didn't use the cacert.pem file. I think it is just required for Windows.
I have been trying to authenticate through ROAuth using the following script:
library("ROAuth")
library("RCurl")
requestURL <- "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token"
accessURL = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token"
authURL = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize"
cKey<- "Key"
cSecret<- "Secret"
Cred <- OAuthFactory$new(consumerKey=cKey,
consumerSecret=cSecret,
requestURL=requestURL,
accessURL=accessURL,
authURL=authURL)
Cred$handshake(cainfo = system.file("CurlSSL", "cacert.pem", package = "RCurl"))
Every time I enter in this code, I get the error:
Error in Cred$handshake(cainfo = system.file("CurlSSL", "cacert.pem", : Invalid response from site, please check your consumerKey and consumerSecret and try again.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have made sure every necessary package is up to date by re-installing ROauth and RCurl and checking their version information (ROAuth 0.9.1 and RCurl_1.91-1.1(?) ). After installation, I restarted R (as a possible solution suggested by another post). I copy-pasted and double-checked the consumer key and consumer secret, and I am sure they are correct. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thank you.
Apparently the handshake method in ROauth was broken but was since fixed. The error message you posted (the same one I'm getting right now) is the same as the one referenced in the following link:
http://lists.hexdump.org/pipermail/twitter-users-hexdump.org/2012-February/000059.html
I'm guessing there's still an issue so will see if I can find anything else out...
I can't help with RCurl/ROAuth — but you could try the package ‛httr‛ https://github.com/hadley/httr/ . It comes with a demo how to access Twitter.
