Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm asking a very silly question.
I am trying and failing to make httr work with the Noun Project API).
The site suggests a very simple access based just on the key and the secret.
My R code is as follows:
token <- oauth1.0_token(
endpoint = oauth_endpoint(
request = "http://api.thenounproject.com/",
authorize = "http://api.thenounproject.com/icon/15",
access = "http://api.thenounproject.com/icon/15"),
app = oauth_app(
appname = "nounprojectR",
key = key,
secret = secret))
It opens a browser window but gives a
"Bad Request
Missing OAuth parameters"
response.
This seems like it should be a really simple problem - like a gap between how httr and the API are handling the key and secret - perhaps API is not recognising the text of the key for some reason.
I've managed to make it work with the python function OAuth1 from requests_oauthlib.
It seems like I am making a simple one legged request that returns a JSON object.
However, I would really like to make this work natively in R if at all possible.
It's part of a Hacktoberfest 2018 project for the CaRdiff User Group but we are failing at the first hurdle 
The Github repo is here: https://github.com/CaRdiffR/nounprojectR
I have raised an issue as part of the httr package and I've been advised to ask the friendly people here for help.
I imagine I'm probably doing something really stupid but I'm really at my wits end trying to make this work and would love a bit of help if anybody recognises the problem.
Thanks a lot, Paul
