The function provides a function for each of several of the NY Times Web Services. One can search articles

You need a (different) key to access each API. These are obtained by requesting a key via the NY Times site developer.nytimes.com. You can specify the relevant key in each call, but it is more convenient to set them in the R options object and have the functions retrieve them as they are needed. You set the option named NYTimesAPI to a named character vector with entries for each of the APIs for which you have a key. The names should be "Best Sellers", "Newswire", "Tags", "Community", "Article Search". An example of setting these is options("NYTimesAPI" = c("Best Sellers" = "xxxxxxxxxxx:17:12345678", "Newswire" = "xadsda:10:372324576", "Tags" = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:14:12345678", Community = "xxxxxxxxxxxxx:9:12345678", "Article Search" = "xxxxxxxxxxxx:17:12345678"))
