Hi irin, eventually I fixed the problem . You need to re-create your application on twitter again ! How? Simply go to your application on twitter and DELETE and then make a new application that’s it and it works. Let me know if you got result.

I have same problem, I could finish authentication successfully
#----------
registerTwitterOAuth(twitCred)
[1] TRUE
#-------------
but I could not access twitter API by getURL:
#----------
getURL(“https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/show.json?id=340648555121352705.JSON”,
cainfo = system.file(“CurlSSL”, “cacert.pem”, package = “RCurl”))

[1] “{"errors":[{"message":"Bad Authentication data","code":215}]}”
#---------
what am I doing wrong?
@cmq71: I made new application also, but it does not work.

download.file(url=“http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem”, destfile=“cacert.pem”)
requestURL ← “https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token”
accessURL ← “https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token”
authURL ← “https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize”
consumerKey ← “myKey”
consumerSecret ← “mySecret”
Cred ← OAuthFactory$new(consumerKey=consumerKey,

                     consumerSecret=consumerSecret,

                     requestURL=requestURL,

                     accessURL=accessURL,

```
                     authURL=authURL)
```

Cred$handshake(cainfo = system.file(“CurlSSL”, “cacert.pem”, package = “RCurl”) )
Error: Unauthorized

Did anyone make it work??? I have already deleted the app and created a new one. I’m on Windows XP Home edition. I use R 3.0.2 and my packages are updated.

I don’t own a domain. I’m using my blog URL in the website field. Could this be the problem?

bl33md · 2014-05-06T17:12:14.000Z

I deleted and created new app, yet I am getting the error: Unauthorized message.
Please help resolve this issue.

hreed7 · 2014-06-24T19:59:11.000Z

you have “mykey” both in the consumerKey and consumerSecret line, you want something like “mysecretkey” in the consumerSecret assignment.

far_project4 · 2014-07-17T15:34:31.000Z

could you give your R code? thanks

selcukakbas · 2014-07-17T21:15:00.000Z

have tried all of these but didn’t work. any solution about this “Error: Unauthorized” ???

download.file(url=“http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem”, destfile=“cacert.pem”)

twitCred$handshake()
twitCred$handshake(cainfo=“cacert.pem”)
twitCred$handshake(cainfo=“cacert.pem” , ssl.verifypeer = FALSE )
twitCred$handshake(cainfo = system.file(“CurlSSL”, “cacert.pem”, package = “RCurl”))

selcukakbas · 2014-07-17T21:25:12.000Z

finally i got the solution, please try this method

library(devtools)
install_github(“twitteR”, username=“geoffjentry”)
library(twitteR)

api_key = “aaa”
api_secret = “bbb”
access_token = “ccc”
access_token_secret = “ddd”
setup_twitter_oauth(api_key,api_secret,access_token,access_token_secret)

JeremyMolayem · 2014-08-02T22:03:34.000Z

I tried the above but last line error.

Hi everyone,

I have been having the same issue and decided to go online looking for a fix. I found the following link:

julianhi's Blog – 22 May 13

Twitter Authentication with R

This article is just a small summary about the authentication process with Twitter. Its about creating the Twitter app and doing the handshake cause you have to do it every time you want to get dat…

This is the only solution that I could find so far. It requires that you remove the twitteR package you currently have installed and download another one from github through the use of the devtools package.
I did just that and used the code provided by the link above and everything works fine for me.

Please follow the blogger and give him a shout-out on Twitter, if you want!

Cheers!
