RegisterHITType(title, description, reward, duration, keywords = NULL, 
                auto.approval.delay = NULL, qual.req = NULL, 
                verbose = getOption('MTurkR.verbose', TRUE), ...)

`title`	A character string containing the title for the HITType. All HITs of this HITType will be visibly grouped to workers according to this title. Maximum of 128 characters.
`description`	A character string containing a description of the HITType. This is visible to workers. Maximum of 2000 characters.
`reward`	A character string containing the per-assignment reward amount, in U.S. Dollars (e.g., “0.15”).
`duration`	A character string containing the amount of time workers have to complete an assignment for HITs of this HITType, in seconds (for example, as returned by `seconds`). Minimum of 30 seconds and maximum of 365 days.
`keywords`	An optional character string containing a comma-separated set of keywords by which workers can search for HITs of this HITType. Maximum of 1000 characters.
`auto.approval.delay`	An optional character string specifying the amount of time, in seconds (for example, as returned by `seconds`), before a submitted assignment is automatically granted. Maximum of 30 days.
`qual.req`	An optional character string containing one or more QualificationRequirements data structures, for example as returned by `GenerateQualificationRequirement`.
`verbose`	Optionally print the results of the API request to the standard output. Default is taken from `getOption('MTurkR.verbose', TRUE)`.
`...`	Additional arguments passed to `request`.

All HITs of a given HITType are visibly grouped together for workers and share common properties (e.g., reward amount, QualificationRequirements). This function registers a HITType in the MTurk system, which can then be used when creating individual HITs. If a requester wants to change these properties for a specific HIT, the HIT should be changed to a new HITType (see ChangeHITType).

hittype() is an alias.

A two-column data frame containing the HITTypeId of the newly registered HITType and an indicator for whether the registration request was valid.
