roauth

I'm trying to authenticate to the XING API (api.xing.com) using ROAuth (v0.9.2). library(package="RCurl") library(package="ROAuth") site <- "https://api.xing.com" requestTokenPath <- "/v1/request_token" accessTokenPath <- "/v1/access_token" authorizePath <- "/v1/authorize" consumerKey <- "***********" # blank key for posting consumerSecret <- "********" # blank key for posting requestURL <- paste(site, requestTokenPath, sep="") accessURL <- paste(site, accessTokenPath, sep="") authURL <- paste(site, authorizePath, sep="") credentials <- OAuthFactory$new(consumerKey=consumerKey, consumerSecret

I’m trying to use the twitteR package as I’ve gotten to the Twitter chapter in Jeffrey Stanton’s free e-book on Data science. I use this code to register my credentials: requestURL <- "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token" accessURL = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token" authURL = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authorize" consumerKey = "------------" consumerSecret = "-----------" twitCred <- OAuthFactory$new(consumerKey=consumerKey, consumerSecret=consumerSecret, requestURL=requestURL, accessURL=accessURL, authURL=authURL) download.file(url="http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem",
