Details

The 'imf_app_name' function sets the application name that will be used in the request header when making API calls to the IMF API. The IMF API has an application-based rate limit of 50 requests per second, with the application identified by the "user_agent" variable in the request header. The function sets the application name by changing the 'IMF_APP_NAME' hidden variable in ‘.Renviron'. If this variable doesn’t exist, 'imf_app_name' will create it.

Value

Invisible NULL

Examples

imf_app_name("my_custom_app_name")
