Hi @Deenma - Could you try going to the Keys and Tokens page of your Twitter app (https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps) and make sure you’re using the correct app tokens? If they are correct and the requests are still failing, could you try regenerating those tokens then resubmitting your request with the new tokens?

This code works

mytweet <- searchTwitter("Deenma", n=100)
mytweet

but these codes dont

rt <- search_tweets(
  q = "#rstats",
  n = 3000,
  include_rts = FALSE
)
rt

cabinet_accounts <- lists_members(owner_user = "CSPAN", slug = "the-cabinet")
staff <- lists_members(slug = "white-house-staff", owner = "digiphile")

using R studio

Yes i regenerated tokens but still not working

consumer_key = “mykey”
consumer_secret = “mysecret”
access_token = “myaccesstoken”
access_secret = “myaccesssecret”
setup_twitter_oauth(consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token, access_secret)

i hope the code above is the right way to authenticate

The search/tweets endpoint doesn’t require app-user auth (aka access tokens)
Does using only the consumer_key and consumer_secret work?

setup_twitter_oauth(consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token=NULL, access_secret=NULL)

Hi @happycamper No it doesnt work, does my app have to be approved before authorization works? and how will i know if my app has been approved?

[happycamper]

It looks like that R library uses the standard statuses/search API (to the best of my knowledge). Go to https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps if you need to regenerate keys.

regenerated key same error

error -> “Searching for tweets…
89 - Invalid or expired token.Invalid or expired token.Finished collecting tweets!”

Hi there - have you tried accessing this endpoint using a different method or tool? This would help us understand if the problem lies with your credentials or with the code you’re using.

You can try accessing the endpoint with either curl or twurl. You could also try using either insomnia or postman. You can find example requests using curl and twurl on this page.
