authorization not working #13

This issue falls under the more reconciliation with twitteR umbrella.

The only handling of authorizations in streamR is through an OAUth object, such as created by ROAuth, but that kind of workflow is deprecated (if I'm not mistaken) and possibly broken (I get an Error: Forbidden whenever I try to use it) and I'm not even sure the package is actively maintained anymore (ROAuth is no longer used in favor of httr, please see ?setup_twitter_oauth).

So, is streamR broken?

Same here! I am doing a sentiment analysis project and I need to analyze people's sentiment from raw tweets. I use streamR to collect the raw data but these days when I run it, it throws me an error:

Error in gzfile(file, "wb") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In gzfile(file, "wb") : cannot open compressed file 'my_oauth.Rdata', probable reason 'Permission denied' I am not sure why this error suddenly appears. I have used this package to collect millions of social media data. Any hints available?
