I have a text file in JSON format that I downloaded using code from this link. It looks something like this:

I’m curious how to extract individual pieces to an R data frame. For instance this would ideally go to a data frame like this:
screen_name text
rojas_altazor 'ello miss...?
CamiCelie VALENTINA CORTANTE!
... ...
This is my first foray into using JSON files so any suggestions would be appreciated.
