Set default client for the current session

Source: R/client.R
client_as.Rd

client_as() sets up the default client used by rtweet API calls with PKCE. See rtweet_user() to learn more about the three available authentication options.

Usage

client_as(client = NULL)

Arguments

client

One of the following options:

  • NULL, the default, will look for rtweet's "default" authentication which uses your personal default Twitter client. If it's not found, it will call client_setup_default() to set it up.

  • A string giving the name of a saved auth file made by client_save().

  • A client object created by rtweet_client().

Value

Invisibly returns the previous authentication mechanism.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# Use app auth for the remainder of this session:
my_app <- rtweet_app()
auth_as(my_app)

# Switch back to the default user based auth
client_as()
client_list()
}
