initSession {twitteR} | R Documentation |
This function will initiate a web session for the user with the
Twitter servers, providing a handle which is then used throughout the
rest of the functions of twitteR
.
initSession(username, password)

Your Twitter screenname |
password |
Your Twitter password |
As of now, twitteR
still uses the old authentication method,
and not OAuth
. This function provides a CURLHandle
which can then be passed along to any other function within the
package in order to achieve proper authentication.
An object of class CURLHandle
