auth_save function

Save an authentication mechanism for use in a future session

Use auth_save() with auth_as() to avoid repeatedly entering app credentials, making it easier to share auth between projects. Use auth_list() to list all saved credentials.

auth_save(auth, name)

auth_list()

Arguments

• auth: One of rtweet_app(), rtweet_bot(), or rtweet_user().
• name: Name of the file to use.

Returns

Invisible the path where the authentication is saved.

Details

The tokens are saved on tools::R_user_dir("rtweet", "config").

Examples

## Not run:

# save app auth for use in other sessions

auth_save(auth, "my-app")

# later, in a different session...

# Show all authentications stored
auth_list()
## End(Not run)
