After executing the last statement TwitterOAuth(), it is still giving similar error -
Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) :
Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to api.twitter.com:443

I searched many forums and tried all those solutions but still it is not working.
I tried the following solutions to eliminate this issue :

  1. Checked the firewall status and have allowed R Studio and R session to access the network.
  2. Used library(installr), library(ROAuth), library(stringr).
  3. Reinstalled packages - twitteR, streamR

Need help to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance :)
