set_token: Set token

In mkearney/rtweet.download: Automate Large Downloads with 'rtweet'

Description

Stores Twitter API token information for the duration of the session

Usage

set_token(x)

Arguments

x	Either a token or path to a token. If path, the token is read using readRDS (this is default rtweet behavior). If token, it is saved in the current working directory as ".rtweet_token"

Value

The token is invisibly returned but more importantly the environment variable "TWITTER_PAT" is set to point toward the saved token file. This will be reset at the end of the session.

Examples

## if your system already has an environment variable for an rtweet token,
## this will return the path
(pat <- Sys.getenv("TWITTER_PAT"))

## if your system doesn't have this environment variable OR if you wish to
## override this value, then enter the desired path or token object
#pat <- "/path/to/rtweet-token.rds"

## and then set the token for use for the remainder of the session
#set_token(pat)
