Hi There,

just a quick question has anybody developed a Twitter Ads API wrapper for R? I am struggling to get access to the account from R script level.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback that you would prefer having this wrapper available.

Generally the OAuth layer is the same between Ads API and the public (REST) API. So I found this example, I hope it helps you: Accessing Data from Twitter API using R | by Michael Galarnyk | Medium

Hi @JBabichJapan,

This is what I tried, with no success, I am using the credential associated with the app I created, and my app was listed for ads API, I can get it working through Twurl, but not in R.

my code:

library(twitteR)
library(ROAuth)
library(RCurl)
library(parsedate)
library(BBmisc)
library(httr)

appname ← “xxxxx”
api_key ← “xxxxxxx”
api_secret ← “xxxxxxxx”
access_token ← “xxxxxxx”
access_secret ← “xxxxxx”
account_id ← “xxxxxxx”

setup_twitter_oauth(api_key,api_secret, access_token, access_secret)

campaign_id ← itostr(18257572,base=36)

reach_campaign.request ← GET(“https://ads-api.twitter.com/1/stats/accounts/xxxxxxx/reach/campaigns?start_time=2018-06-10T00:00:00+01:00Z&campaign_ids=xxxxx&end_time=2018-06-15T00:00:00+01:00Z”,
query = list(granularity = “DAY”,
metric_groups = “ENGAGEMENT”,
placement = “ALL_ON_TWITTER”),
accept_json(),
config(token = access_secret))

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi - first thing to check - you should call /3/ path instead of /1/ because version 1 has been deprecated. Is that not the error you were receiving though?

Did anyone ever figure this out?

Please provide us your Ads account ID. Also, please provide us with response data you get for this script. (e.g., HTTP response code, error message)
