Hi dude,

When I use this fuction:
predict_botometer(doc_users, key = "7xxxxxxa3xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx51", set_key = TRUE, parse = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

The output is:
Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(url, handle = handle) :
Could not resolve host: osome-botometer.p.mashape.com

How can i solve this? Many thanks in advance.

dieguszgz commented

Hi dieguszgz. I also had the same issue. I updated the code and created a pull request that should solve this issue (at least it did in my case). Also, be aware that you now need to subscribe to the Botometer freemium plan on rapidapi so you can check accounts. If you don't subscribe, you receive NA scores from Botometer but without any explanation why.
