I am trying to use setup_twitter_oauth authentication (from TwitteR package) to later on run StreamR search.
There is a related question in Stackoverflow about the same subject -
Retrieving cached oauth token with packages httr, twitteR, and streamR
However my problem that I don't see .httr-oauth file in my working directory
The code I use to establish connection with Twitter is below
setup_twitter_oauth(consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token=NULL, access_secret=NULL)
(I use proper keys from my registered Twitter App) It works I am getting [1] Using direct authentication message after execute it.
However there is no file called .httr-oaut in my work directory. Other hidden files are visible.
getOption("httr_oauth_cache") returns TRUE
What am I doing wrong and how can I get this file and use it in the future to establish connection with Twitter using StreamR, like for example in the command below
filterStream( file="tweets_rstats.json", track="rstats",
locations=c(-74,40,-73,41), timeout=600, oauth=my_oauth)
As I understood I need to pass it as oauth, so need in some way to save the token in my_oauth variable
Any help is appreciated
