When using rtweet, I am not prompted to sign into twitter at any point. As a result I receive a : Error: is.request(signed_req) is not TRUE error. Any suggestions on how to overcome this issue?

I have been following the getting started examples on cran with no success. Thanks in advance.

Could you post some of the code you tried? According to http://rtweet.info/:

The first time you make an API request—e.g., search_tweets(), stream_tweets(), get_followers()—a browser window will open

You may need to reinstall from the github.

  • ,thanks for the response. I was trying to follow those instructions here is the code that I ran: `rt <- search_tweets( "#libyanslavetrade", n = 18000, include_rts = FALSE)` I also did reinstall from GitHub, thinking that might be the issue but unfortunately, the same result, no browser window prompt. – one eno Dec 06 '17 at 22:50

I ran into a similar authentication where I was not prompted to login after trying to use search_tweets(). However, my error code read:

Error in oauth_listener(authorize_url, is_interactive) :
httpuv package required to capture OAuth credentials.

After installing the httpuv package, I reran search_tweets() as was able to make a successful call.
