Api keys renv

API Keys let us make authenticated requests from the RStudio IDE to Connect.

We are going to add our API credentials to a .Renviron file, making them available to R as environment variables.

• Navigate to Connect and create and copy your API Key.
• Return to the RStudio IDE.
• Use an .Renviron file to set the CONNECT_SERVER and CONNECT_API_KEY environment variables:
  • In the Console, type usethis::edit_r_environ() and press Enter to open your .Renviron for editing.
  • Add the following:

    CONNECT_SERVER=<https://your-server-address.com/>
    CONNECT_API_KEY=<paste key value>
    

  • Save and close the file.
• Restart R:
  • Mac: Cmd + Shift + F10
  • PC/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + F10
