Dear List, I am compiling a list of R packages that work with social media APIs. Uptil now I have found that
1- Most of these are based on RCurl, XML, rjson 2- Even though the API format is standardized for REST- there seems to be many differences within the APIs, leadinbg to multiple packages that do the required API call - 3- I am specific issues with the following Google +API access through R Linkedin API access through R Twitter +API access through ROAuth and Datasift API (basically a firehose for all social media) within R Again most of the APIs I find have libraries supported by java, ruby,python,curl- but there seems to be some overlooking of R within various API vendors. Has anybody been working with R for social media- I am specifically looking for use cases that avoid rate limiting of free api- and specifically OAuth and APis for LinkedIn, Google + and Datasift using R. Many Thanks, Ajay ohri Websites- Technology http://decisionstats.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
