Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References Examples

This function starts the authentication process with Microsoft Bing. If the user is initiating it for the first time, this function needs user interaction.

Assign the credentials <- baAuthentication(credentials). This updates the access token in the credentials.

1	baAuthentication(credentials = credentials)

credentials

All the credentials related paramters are put in a list named - 'credentials' as shown below. ##Not run credentials <- list( client_id = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", client_secret = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", username = "abc@abc.com", password = "***********", developer_token = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", customer_id = "XXXXXXXXXX", account_id = "XXXXXXX" ) ##End(Not run)

credentials

The credentials is the list of parameters like client_id, client_secret, username, password, developer_token, customer_id and account_id. The refresh_token generated is saved in the working directory. The access_token is passed as a value in the credentials list itself. Hence it is necessary to assign the output to credentials.
