How should I deal with twitter auth token in shinyapp?

Hello,

This is my first post, so please be kind.

I built simple shinyapp that download tweets from a particular account and display some simple statistics and graphs (sentiment analysis, word clouds, etc.). I used rtweet package. I would like to publish it at https://www.shinyapps.io/. The app works as intended locally using twitter auth token saved as a global environment.

How should I safely authorize my app publishing it online? Hardcoding my API keys into the script feels terrible idea.
