Generating an OAuth Token - Steps using R
Generating an OAuth Token - Steps using R
(OP)
Appreciate some timely insight!
Novice - first time attempting to extract data via an API.
I obtained a API Key and the Secret.
Converted to base64.
Now perplexed as to the next step where the instructions that I have state that I should "Enter the generated base64value in the header and request body and call the token URI as shown below;
Any insight as to if R can be used to obtain the OAuth Token?
If so, what are the required packages that I need to install?
Thanks in advance.
