mturkhelp: Get some help

Description

Functions to obtain help with the MTurk API (as opposed to the MTurkR package itself). mturkrhelp makes help requests directly to the API, while APIReference simply loads the API documentation.

Usage

          print = getOption('MTurkR.print'),
          browser = getOption('MTurkR.browser'),
          log.requests = getOption('MTurkR.log'),
          validation.test = getOption('MTurkR.test'))
