Reset Twitter Credentials?

[kurtawirth]

I accidentally saved the wrong credentials and have had to re-enter my credentials every time I load botcheck. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling botcheck to no avail. How might I reset those credentials and then save them properly?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Have you tried restarting your R session and repeating these steps:

consumer_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
consumer_secret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
access_token = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
access_secret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

myapp = oauth_app("twitter", key=consumer_key, secret=consumer_secret)
sig = sign_oauth1.0(myapp, token=access_token, token_secret=access_secret)

I have, unfortunately, many times. I go through that process every time I load RStudio because botcheck won't work unless I do.

Hey @marsha5813 - just wondering if you have any ideas here. I'm working on some original research using your tool (with citation, of course!) and this part is causing me a huge headache and probably would have to be fixed before use by anyone outside of myself. Thanks again for your help!

Probably it's already too late for you, but httr asked me whether to cache the credentials in a separated file. You could check for hidden files in your working directory.

You're welcome! Did it work? If yes, please close the topic :)

Sorry; should've explained. I've long since moved on to another approach. :)
