Twitter OAuth not working with "Unauthorized" error with call to R

I installed the Twitter app and gave read, write permissions. I noticed the API key and secret. Then I called setup_twitter_oauth () like this:

setup_twitter_oauth("key","secret")
[1] "Using browser based authentication"
Error in init_oauth1.0(self$endpoint, self$app,
          permission =    self$params$permission) : 
client error: (401) Unauthorized

As you can see, the request is rejected as unauthorized. What could be the reason? Please let me know if more information is needed to answer a question.

It seems that you are missing some parameters from your call to setup_twitter_oauth

. You need 4 parameters:



consumer_key    <- '...'
consumer_secret <- '...'
access_token    <- '...'
access_secret   <- '...'

setup_twitter_oauth(consumer_key,consumer_secret,access_token,access_secret)
