In rdpla: Client for the Digital Public Library of America ('DPLA')

Description

Request an API key from the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA).

Usage

dpla_get_key(email, ...)

Arguments

email	(character) An email address.
...	Curl options passed on to crul::HttpClient()

Details

You are required to have an API key to use rdpla. To get one, use dpla_get_key for getting a key programatically. After getting the key, you can pass the key as a parameter to rdpla functions, but we recommend storing the key on your machine, since not exposing your key in your files that may end up on the web is good practice. Store your key either as an environment variable in your .Renviron file or similar like DPLA_API_KEY=<yourkey>, or as an R option in your .Rprofile file like options(dpla_api_key = "<yourkey>"). Either will be read in when you call rdpla functions. Make sure to restart your R session after storing your key as either env var or R option.

Value

On success, a message that your API key will be emailed to you.

Examples

# dpla_get_key(email="[e-mail]")
