save_datagov_apikey(key = "DATA.GOV KEY STRING")A variety of search criteria are supported. Perhaps you want to find all candidates in a particular race, the committee ids of a candidate by their name, all candidates of a party in a particular state, or some other combination. Some examples are below and documentation for each argument can be accessed in RStudio using ?search_candidates.
