This function prompts the user to input their Financial Modeling Prep (FMP)
API key and saves it to a .Renviron
file, either in the project directory
or the home directory. It also gives the user the option to add .Renviron
to .gitignore
for security purposes.
Value
Invisibly returns TRUE
after saving the key or aborting the
operation. The function will read the .Renviron
file after saving,
allowing the environment variables to be immediately available. A restart of
the R session is recommended.
Examples
# \donttest{
fmp_set_api_key()
#> Enter your FMP API key:
#> Where do you want to store the .Renviron file? Enter 'project' for project directory or 'home' for home directory:
#> Invalid choice. Please start again and enter "project" or "home".
