How to get Authentication?

[englianhu]

Authentication The best way to authenticate is to use an environment file. See ?Startup. I usually place this in my home directory. (e.g. if using RStudio, click on Home in the file explorer, create a new TEXT file and call it .Renviron) Set the file location of your download Google Project JSON file in a GL_AUTH argument:

GL_AUTH=location_of_json_file.json

I try to browse over http://code.markedmondson.me/googleLanguageR/articles/speech.html but don;t know how to get authentication in order to use the functions.

library('googleLanguageR')
lnk <- 'https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t66.18014-6/42832823_1854945517918295_8803608342512894293_n.mp4?_nc_cat=110&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6Im9lcF9oZCJ9&oh=08e0a1bce580184048cd33489d3c254c&oe=5C3DAE2F'
vfile <- tempfile()

if (file.exists(vfile)) {
+   vday <- gl_speech(vfile)
+   
+   play(vday)
+ } else {
+   download.file(lnk, vfile, mode = 'wb')
+   vday <- gl_speech(vfile)
+   #play(vday)
+ }

You need to follow the Installation steps to generate a service credential JSON file in a Google console.

Ok, ignore that.

You need to create a service key there is a guide here https://cloud.google.com/video-intelligence/docs/common/auth

hey Mark,

I am having a similar problem with googleLanguageR.

2019-12-02 10:07:45> No authorization yet in this session! 2019-12-02 10:07:45> No .httr-oauth file exists in current working directory. Do library authentication steps to provide credentials. Error: Invalid token

library(googleAnalyticsR) ga_auth("ga.oauth") 2019-12-02 10:26:28> Default Google Project for googleAnalyticsR is set.
This is shared with all googleAnalyticsR users. If making a lot of API calls, please: visit: https://bit.ly/2Evk6hn for instructions on setting your own Google Project

Error: Path 'ga.oauth' does not exist

I have my json file and api key but for some reason I cannot get this authorised.

any help would be great, thanks.

Could you open this on googleAnalyticsR repo? https://github.com/MarkEdmondson1234/googleAnalyticsR

But looks like you need to review the setup guide on the website: https://code.markedmondson.me/googleAnalyticsR/articles/setup.html

[james-henderson93]

yep but when using ga_auth() it takes me to the google webpage with an error.

400. That’s an error.

Error: invalid_request Missing required parameter: client_id Learn more Request Details That’s all we know.

[MarkEdmondson1234]

Ok looks like we need to see all your code you are attempting. Please open the issue on https://github.com/MarkEdmondson1234/googleAnalyticsR not here on https://github.com/ropensci/googleLanguageR
