Having difficulty embedding a twitter timeline into a shiny app.

tried to follow this code

library(shiny)
runApp(list(ui = fluidPage(
  tags$head(tags$script('!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)    [0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?\'http\':\'https\';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");')),
  titlePanel(""),
  sidebarLayout(
    sidebarPanel()
    , mainPanel(
      a("Soccer", class="twitter-timeline"
        , href = "https://twitter.com/pssGuy/timelines/524678699061641216"
        , "data-widget-id" = "524686407298596864")
    )
  )
)
, server = function(input, output, session){

}
)
)

but now that twitter has changed the way they produce widgets i cant figure out how to get w new data widget id. Not super familiar with HTML or JS so any help would be appreciated!

hoping to embed the timeline of "https://twitter.com/CityOfBoston"
