There are two methods for setting your token, an environment variable in your
.Renviron file, or setting an option. If both are set, the environment
variable will always be used. See details for how to get started.
riingo_set_token(token)riingo_get_token()
Tiingo API token. A character.
To use the Tiingo API, you must create an account and set an API token. It is completely free to get started and use their free source of data.
To sign up, use riingo_browse_signup() and click Sign-up.
To find your API token, use riingo_browse_token(). Note that you must be
signed in on the opened browser.
With your API token in hand, you can do one of two things:
Set the API token with riingo_set_token(). This is only valid for the
current R session and must be done each time you open R.
Set the API token as the RIINGO_TOKEN environment variable in an .Renviron file.
This is what I recommend. The easiest way to access this file is with the usethis package.
Open it with usethis::edit_r_environ() and then add a line with RIINGO_TOKEN = token_here.
Do not put the token in quotes, and make sure to restart R once you have set it.
After that, you shouldn't have to worry about it again.
