Good morning,

I’m testing code ahead of scraping for my research project. I have full academic access and am using rtweet to extract Tweets:

tweets/search/fullarchive/controversiestomapp ***Warning: list(message = “Forbidden: Authentication succeeded but account is not authorized to access this resource.”, sent = “2021-03-30T09:08:00+00:00”, transactionId = “001bf14c00f015b6”)

The code I am using is:
rt ← search_fullarchive(q = “#COVIDVaccine”, n = 100, env_name = “controversiestomapp”, fromDate = “202102010000”, toDate = “202002302359”)

When using a normal search (not from the full archive) I can pull Tweets without an issue.

Any help would be appreciated!

This function calls the v1.1 Premium fullarchive endpoint, a different API, not the v2 academic access.

(same as here except in R instead of tweepy)

You can use this R package to use the v2 Academic Access: GitHub - cjbarrie/academictwitteR: Repo for academictwitteR package to query the Twitter Academic Research Product Track v2 API endpoint.

Using rtweet in R and reach a limit with Premium

Thank you for the response. I’m following the git hub process but am getting getting an error when trying to generate a bearer token following Twitter’s code Generating and using app-only Bearer Tokens | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform. I’ve replaced the keys in my script with my own but get the following error:

curl -u "$API_KEYXX:$API_SECRET_KEYXX" \ 
  --data 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
  'https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token'

returns Error: unexpected string constant in"$API_KEYXX:$API_SECRET_KEYXX" \

I may be easier to generate a bearer token from the Developer portal - that way you can provide it to R script directly. The tokens don’t expire unless you reset them https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/dashboard (Under the “Keys and tokens” key menu under your Academic Access assigned Project App)
