In lorenzbr/cryptowatchR: An API Wrapper for 'Cryptowatch'

#' Get 24-hour summary of cryptocurrencies
#'
#' Get 24-hour summary of cryptocurrencies using the REST API of cryptowat.ch.
#' The route is \emph{summary} or \emph{summaries} and returns the current
#' 24-hour summary of a given pair or a summary of all pairs. See
#' \url{https://docs.cryptowat.ch/rest-api/markets/summary} for further information.
#'
#' @usage get_summary(pair, keyBy = NULL, exchange = "kraken", api_key = NULL,
#' allowance = FALSE)
#' @param pair A character string containing a pair symbol, e.g. \emph{btcusd}
#' (required argument). Run \code{get_pairs()} to find other available pairs.
#' @param keyBy A single character string. Possible values are are either
#' \emph{id} or \emph{symbols}.
#' @param exchange A character string containing the exchange. Default is
#' \emph{kraken}. Run \code{get_exchanges()} to find other available exchanges.
#' @param api_key A character string containing the API key. See
#' \url{https://docs.cryptowat.ch/rest-api/rate-limit} to learn how to create
#' an account and how to generate an API key.
#' @param allowance A logical (default is \code{FALSE}). If \code{TRUE} the
#' function returns a list which includes allowance information, i.e. cost of
#' the request, remaining credits and your account name.
#'
#' @return Current 24-hour summary of a given pair of currencies. If allowance
#' is \code{TRUE}, \code{get_summary()} returns a list with additional
#' information on allowances.
