Get metadata about a subject

1	bhl_subjectmetadata(subject, pubs = FALSE, as = "table", key = NULL, ...)

`subject`	(character) he subject for which to return metadata
`pubs`	(logical) `TRUE` to return the subject's publications. Default: `FALSE`
`as`	(character) Return a list ("list"), json ("json"), xml ("xml"), or parsed table ("table", default). Note that `as="table"` can give different data format back depending on the function - for example, sometimes a data.frame and sometimes a character vector.
`key`	Your BHL API key, either enter, or loads from your `.Renviron` as `BHL_KEY` or from `.Rprofile` as `bhl_key`.
`...`	Curl options passed on to `crul::HttpClient()`

You may choose to include a list of the subject's publications. The BHLType element identifies the type of each publication (Title or Part).
