Set or get secrets from the keyring — set

Some services require credentials to access data. This function uses keyring to safely store those credentials on your computer.

Usage

set_secret(name, secret = NULL)

get_secret(name)

Arguments

name: Name of the secret to set or get as a character (e.g. "nl_api_key").
secret: Optionally a character string with the secret, alternatively the system will prompt the user.

Value

set_secret() returns TRUE when a secret has successfully been set. get_secret() returns the secret as a character string.

Details

When working with a cluster it might be advantageous to use a specific keyring, this can be done by setting the keyring_backend option in R.

The package uses the option getRad.key_prefix as a prefix to all keys stored. If you want to use multiple keys for the same api you can manipulate this option.
