I used R’s packages ‘twitteR’ and ‘ROAuth’ to access Twitter API. I tried this R code to register my R session:
tw<-OAuthFactory$new(consumerKey=“mykeyhere”,consumerSecret=“mysecrethere”,
requestURL=“http://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token”,
accessURL=“http://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token”,
authURL=“http://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize”)
tw<-handshake()
I used http instead of https because the latter gave me an error of SSL certification fail. Then, I enter a PIN code obtained from a given URL and registered with Twitter:
registerTwitterOAuth(tw)
The result of the above command was:
[1] TRUE
I think that I successfully registered using OAuth. However, when I tried to access protected users’ profiles, for example,
getURL(“http://api.twitter.com/1/followers/ids.json?cursor=-1&user_id=XXXXXXXX”)
I got this:
[1] “{"error":"Not authorized","request":"\/1\/followers\/ids.json?cursor=-1&user_id=XXXXXXXX"}”
I also checked my verification by using:
getURL(“http://api.twitter.com/1/account/verify_credentials.json”)
And this was the result:
[1] “{"error":"Could not authenticate you.","request":"\/1\/account\/verify_credentials.json"}”
Would you mind helping me please? Thank you very much.

Well I certainly have no prior experience with R, so let me know if I’m completely off base, but from looking at the library documentation I found here: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/twitteR/twitteR.pdf
It appears that getURL isn’t a method in the library - are you sure that calling it is performing all of the appropriate OAuth signing?
Do the library methods work for you? For example, “getFollowerIDs”?
