Save a data.gov API key

Source: R/save_datagov_apikey.R

It's best practice not to include your API key in scripts. Save it interactively with this function, then it will be available with Sys.getenv("DATAGOV_API_KEY"). All 'api_key' arguments in tidyfec functions default to Sys.getenv("DATAGOV_API_KEY").

save_datagov_apikey(key, overwrite = FALSE, install = FALSE)

Arguments

key

Your API Key
overwrite

TRUE or FALSE.

TRUE or FALSE
