Details

An API key is sensitive information and should not be shared. To avoid hard-coding your user name and password into your R scripts, we recommend declaring this information in your global or project-specific .Renviron file. The same approach may be used to declare your URL for making API requests. While the URL us typically not sensitive information, keeping all of this information in one place makes sense for consistency. For remote API connections to CPAC, set the following environment variables in your .Renviron files:

• OPENMPP_CPAC_URL: URL for making remote API requests.

• OPENMPP_CPAC_KEY: API key for making remote API requests.
