Where can I find the info of parameters from this request in Criteo?

I would assume "userName" as email address I use to register as the an API user, "companyName" as the account name, but dont know where to get "appName"

authToken <- doCriteoAuth(user = "userName", password = "**********", company = "companyName", app = "appName", version = "3.6"

User Feedback:
"maybe consider changing the parameter to 'campaignID' and showing how to obtain ID's with getCriteoCampaigns() earlier in README to make following steps easier."

I can run the code without any problem except for the criteoData command which return the following error"Error in xmlChildren(x)[[...]] : subscript out of bounds". Please see below for the full result.

> library(RCriteo)

jobID

attr(,"metrics")

I notice there's a problem with getCriteoCampaign command for some account. For example, nothing is returned as shown below when using this command for one of the account.

However, rerunning the same command 5 minutes later show the result.

Not sure if anyone experiene this problem before ?

Not sure why I cant get this to work. I do have username and password

authToken <- doCriteoAuth(user = "*****", password = "*****", company = "company", app =    "appName", version = "3.6")

Im also using
options(RCurlOptions = list(cainfo = system.file("CurlSSL", "cacert.pem", package = "RCurl")))

This helps me avoid this error message:
Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) :
SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

I was looking at the function and noticed the API url is v2010 but my acct manager shows documentation with v201305

Could that be part of the issue?

Integrate getCriteoJobStatus, getCriteoDownloadURLand getCriteoData into one function.

The actual SOAP API is going to be deprecated, do you have plans to update the package to support the new REST API?

If not, may I can contribute for this.

To Do:
Transform list to dataframe.

My credentials are now working and I am able to obtain an authToken.

However for scedCriteoReport() I am seeing the following error:

Error in attr(data, "metrics") <- metrics : 
  attempt to set an attribute on NULL

When breaking down the function, I find the initial error is at this point:

XML::xmlParse(h$value())

And it returns this error:

XML::xmlParse(h$value())
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>

<faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode>

  <detail/>
</soap:Fault>

</soap:Body>

</soap:Envelope>

Am I missing a step here?

Hello!

I am looking to pull criteo data into R using your library. One snag I seem to have run into is the "AppName" section of the AuthToken call. Is the "AppName" the long string API Key? Is it a dedicated app like how Twitter uses their API?

Thank you for your library, your work and your time!

Could you more clearly define appName for the app variable? And where can I find it? Also, is this still functioning? I see there hasnt been any contributions for a while.
