httr

I'm running R Studio on an AWS "Ubuntu Server 12.04.2" and accessing R Studio via my browser. When I try to authenticate google auth API using the package googlesheets with the code: gs_auth(token = NULL, new_user = FALSE, key = getOption("googlesheets.client_id"), secret = getOption("googlesheets.client_secret"), cache = getOption("googlesheets.httr_oauth_cache"), verbose = TRUE) The problem here is that it redirects me to browser which is of local machine (windows based). Even if I authorize it, it redirects to a URL like " http://localhost:1410/?state=blahblah&code=blahblah ". How do I

Recently, Yahoo changed their authentication mechanism to a two step one. So now, when I login to a yahoo site, I put in my username, and then it asks me to open my yahoo mobile app to give it a code. Alternatively, you can have it email or text you some other way around this. The result of this is that code that used to work to programatically login to Yahoo sites no longer works. This code just redirects to the login form. I've tried with and without a useragent string and with and without the countrycode=1 in the form values. I'm fine with entering a code after looking at my mobile app, but

I would like to use the R package httr to access the EC2 services via their API. But I am a little bit unsure how to get started as it does not fall into the usual authentication format of "Oauth2.0" in which you have the usual: key, secret, token and signature system. I think EC2 uses the "signature version 2" method, but I am unclear as to how that works. Looking at the documentation that EC2 provides with regard to making query requests at http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-query-api.html I think I need the value for signature....but don't know how to get it I

I am trying to get the results of that form with httr . Having looked the form results , I tried the following: library(httr) library(stringr) r = str_c("http://www.memoiredeshommes.sga.defense.gouv.fr/fr/arkotheque/", "client/mdh/base_morts_pour_la_france_premiere_guerre/index.php") q = list( "action" = 1, "todo" = "rechercher", "le_id" = "", "multisite" = "", "r_c_nom" = "mo", "r_c_nom_like" = 1, "r_c_prenom" = "", "r_c_prenom_like" = 1, "r_c_naissance_jour_mois_annee_jj_debut" = "", "r_c_naissance_jour_mois_annee_mm_debut" = "", "r_c_naissance_jour_mois_annee_yyyy_debut" = 1890, "r_c

I'm trying to find the way to connect to Appannie's API with R using the httr package (have no experience with API connection at all). The API requires to include the request header Citation from appannie's site: Register an App Annie account and generate an API key. Add this key to your request header as follows: Authorization: Bearer '' citation over I wrote the code which looks like this query <- "http://api.appannie.com/v1/accounts/1000/sales?break_down=application+dat &start_date=2012-01-01 &end_date=2012-02-01 &currency=USD &countries=US &page_index=1" getdata<-GET(url=query, add_headers

This question already has answers here : AWS dynamodb support for “R” programming language (3 answers) This is a follow up / updated question to this: AWS dynamodb support for "R" programming language I am looking for examples or documentation on how to read in a table from DynamoDB into R. This question pointed me in the right direction: R + httr and EC2 api authentication issues (answered by the great @hadley himself!). It's ok if I have to use httr and then parse a json response, but I can't even figure out how to format the POST request. Thanks! CalZ Repeating my answer from here since
