RGoogleAnalytics Package Updated! Works for OAuth 2.0 #rstats

Only the Linux version of the updated package is here , but for Windows users (like say 80% of the USERs) you can just source the 2 R files within the package sub structure after unzipping the downloaded tar.z file TWICE. The package takes care of taking you to the correct link for authentication after the line access_token <- query$authorize(), you need to

1) sign in to your Google account

2) click grant access (blue button)

3) click exchange tokens (blue button)

4) paste the access token at the prompt specified within the R console

access tokens stay active for 3600 seconds !
