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.

Usage

fmp_set_api_key()

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".
# }
