Hi
I have a problem with my R script,
library("ROAuth");
library("rtweet");
library(dplyr);
consumer_key <- "xxx"
consumer_secret <-"xxx"
access_token <-"319367740-xxx"
access_secret <-"xxx"
token <- create_token(
app = "xx",
consumer_key = consumer_key,
consumer_secret = consumer_secret,
access_token = access_token,
access_secret = access_secret)
chs_tweets <- get_timeline(user = "ClubHipico_Stgo", n = 100000, parse = TRUE, check = TRUE, include_rts = FALSE)
chs_flw <- get_followers("ClubHipico_Stgo", n = "all")
chs_flw_data <- lookup_users(chs_flw$user_id)
hch_tweets <- get_timeline(user = "hipodromo_chile", n = 100000, parse = TRUE, check = TRUE, include_rts = FALSE)
hch_flw <- get_followers("hipodromo_chile", n = "all")
hch_flw_data <- lookup_users(hch_flw$user_id)
The script work fine in R by the way
after a several proves, i think this is the problem:
if i use the get_followers function only once, the script works fine, for example, use the script only with the ClubHipico_Stgo user, the chs_flw table get all the users,
but if run the script and i put two times the get_followers function, power bi show me this error:
Error in if (x) { : argumento tiene longitud cero
Calls: lookup_users ... lookup_users_ -> .user_lookup -> .ids_type -> .id_type
Ejecución interrumpida
Because the 2 followers tables (chs_flw, hch_flw) get 0 followers
Please help me

Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks yingyinr
I found a similar solution in this page, the trick is pass to the USER argument in a list and run the code with a for statement
