Using search_fullarchive() with developer access

[jrosen48]

Problem

I am trying to use the rtweet::search_fullarchive() function using access through an academic project, Twitter's new program for allowing access to the full archive for research use.

Expected behavior

I expected a tibble with the results of the search to be returned.

Reproduce the problem

I tried to run the following (after creating a token interactively earlier using the credentials associated with my academic project):

library(rtweet)
rt <- search_fullarchive("#rstats", n = 300, env_name = "research",
                         fromDate = "201401010000", toDate = "201401312359",
                         token = token)

The following was returned:

tweets/search/fullarchive/research ***Warning: list(message = "Forbidden: Authentication succeeded but account is not authorized to access this resource.", sent = "2021-02-16T18:49:13+00:00", transactionId = "000de4b900358352")

rtweet version

‘0.7.0’

Token

Your authenticate seems to be failing. Can you do anything else that requires (your) authentication?
It says your "account is not authorized to access this resource"

Thank you.

The following works fine:

rtweet::search_tweets("#rstats")

The issue seems to have to do with the "developer environment".

The "Academic Project" I have is associated with an app, but not a developer environment, as far as I can tell.

In particular, there is no environment pertaining to the "Academic Project" app here:

https://developer.twitter.com/en/account/environments

[jrosen48]

Is it possible that dev environments apply to Premium accounts, but not Academic Projects?

Not sure how is this organized I opened a question on Twitter developer's community site. Let's see what do they reply

This is related to #468 and I think can be deleted/tracked there, instead.
