Twitter API is janky. Already corrected in the slides. Just need to fix the notes.

Also replace exercise on API week.

Day 1 example has been fixed. Need to revise the exercise code to use the newest version of rtweet
.
- Add instructions to install
rtweet
from GitHub directly for new authentication protocol - Use following code to store/retrieve authentication token
# authenticate interactively with bearer token from my Twitter app
auth <- rtweet_app()
# store token
auth_save(auth, "some-name")
# retrieve stored token
auth_as("some-name")
- Securely share the bearer token with the class so it doesn't get me banned from Twitter API
- Adjust exercise to not require
group_by(screen_name)
since that is not automatically included in the API results
