Arguments

status: Character, tweet status. Must be 280 characters or less.
media: Length 1 character vector with a file path to video media OR up-to length 4 character vector with file paths to static images to be included in tweet. The caller is responsible for managing this.
token: Use this to override authentication for a single API call. In many cases you are better off changing the default for all calls. See auth_as() for details.
in_reply_to_status_id: Status ID of tweet to which you'd like to reply. Note: in line with the Twitter API, this parameter is ignored unless the author of the tweet this parameter references is mentioned within the status text.
destroy_id: To delete a status, supply the single status ID here. If a character string is supplied, overriding the default (NULL), then a destroy request is made (and the status text and media attachments) are irrelevant.
retweet_id: To retweet a status, supply the single status ID here. If a character string is supplied, overriding the default (NULL), then a retweet request is made (and the status text and media attachments) are irrelevant.
auto_populate_reply_metadata: If set to TRUE and used with in_reply_to_status_id, leading @mentions will be looked up from the original Tweet, and added to the new Tweet from there. Defaults to FALSE.
media_alt_text: attach additional alt text metadata to the media you are uploading. Should be same length as media (i.e. as many alt text entries as there are media entries). See the official API documentation for more information.
lat: A numeric value representing the latitude of the location the tweet refers to. Range should be between -90 and 90 (north). Note that you should enable the "Precise location" option in your account via Settings and privacy > Privacy and Safety > Location. See the official Help Center section.
long: A numeric value representing the longitude of the location the tweet refers to. Range should be between -180 and 180 (west). See lat parameter.
display_coordinates: Put a pin on the exact coordinates a tweet has been sent from. Value should be TRUE or FALSE. This parameter would apply only if you have provided a valid lat/long pair of valid values.
