API keys for data services

Internal session state used to store API keys for web services.

Format

A named list of character strings.

Details

Users can set API keys with setAPIKey(). Keys are remembered for the duration of the R session and can be retrieved with getAPIKey().

This provides a small abstraction layer for dependent packages so that data access functions can test for and retrieve provider-specific API keys with generic code.
