I had previously used this code to post to plotly:

_g\<-plot\_ly(g)_  
_temp\<-plotly\_POST(g,filename=“x”)_

where g with  
_class(g)_  
_[1] “plotly” “htmlwidget”_

I’ve been getting this error since the last R update:

Error: ‘http\_error’ is not an exported object from 'namespace:httr’  
In addition: Warning message:  
‘plotly\_POST’ is deprecated.  
Use ‘api\_create’ instead.  
See help(“Deprecated”)

And the first line remains when I try api\_create:  
Error: ‘http\_error’ is not an exported object from ‘namespace:httr’

Any ideas on how I can get rid of this error?

</div>

Now I’m getting:

_Error: Client error: (401) Unauthorized_  
\_ Bad API key\_

Can it be because of the httr version (1.1.0) I’m using?

I cannot update because new versions are not compatible with birquery.
