#' The API wrapper functions in this package all rely on a Dark Sky API
#' key residing in the environment variable \code{DARKSKY_API_KEY}. The
#' easiest way to accomplish this is to set it in the `\code{.Renviron}` file in your
#' home directory.

#' @param force force setting a new Dark Sky API key for the current environment?
#' @return atomic character vector containing the Dark Sky API key
#' @export
