## Usage
All users must be authenticated to interact with Twitter's APIs.
See `vignette("auth", package = "rtweet")` for details.
```{r}
library(rtweet)
```
rtweet should be used in strict accordance with Twitter's [developer terms](https://developer.twitter.com/en/developer-terms/more-on-restricted-use-cases).
```{r include=FALSE}
auth_as(rtweet:::rtweet_test())
```
## Usage
Depending on if you are a paid user or not you can do more or less things.
# Free
You can post (`tweet_post()`) and retrieve information about yourself (`user_self()`).
# Paid
You can do all the other things: search tweets (`tweet_search_recent()`), retrieve your own bookmarks (`user_bookmarks()`), check who follows who, (`user_following()`, or `user_followers()`), ....
## Contact
Communicating with Twitter's APIs relies on an internet connection, which can sometimes be inconsistent.
If you have questions, or needs an example or want to share a [use case](https://ropensci.org/usecases/), you can post them on [rOpenSci's discuss](https://discuss.ropensci.org/).
Were you can [browse uses of rtweet](https://discuss.ropensci.org/tags/c/usecases/10/rtweet) too.
With that said, if you encounter an obvious bug for which there is not already an active [issue](https://github.com/ropensci/rtweet/issues), please [create a new issue](https://github.com/ropensci/rtweet/issues/new) with all code used (preferably a reproducible example) on Github.
