Title: Fetching Data from the 'Displacement Tracking Matrix'
Version: 0.1.0
Description: Allows humanitarian community, academia, media, government, and non-governmental organizations to utilize the data collected by the 'Displacement Tracking Matrix' (https://dtm.iom.int), a unit in the International Organization for Migration.

Retrieval of an API subscription key from the environment.

Description

The DTM API subscription key is returned, provided that it is available in the R session as an environment variable. Users will usually need to set the DTM_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY environment variable through a .Renviron file or by calling set_subscription_key().

Usage

get_subscription_key()

Details

On the other hand, if the TESTTHAT environment variable is true, indicating that unit tests are being run by the package maintainers, then the subscription key is returned through different means.

Value

A string representing a given subscription key for the DTM API.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Generally, calling set_subscription_key() without the key as an argument is best, 
# as the user can then be prompted to input the key without typing it directly
# into the console, making it more secure and less likely to exposed.
set_subscription_key()

## End(Not run)

Set the user's API subscription key in order to make the API calls.

Description

The API will be stored as an environmental variable named "DTM_API_KEY".

Usage

set_subscription_key(..., key = NULL)

Arguments

...

Any argument here is ignored. It exists solely to discourage typing in the subscription key directly, e.g. set_subscription_key("mysubscriptionkeyhere"), since doing so will only result in the user being prompted to type the subscription key in a graphical user interface. Rather, if the user wishes to set the subscription key through the console / by programmatic means, then the user must explicitly pass the argument to the key parameter as a named parameter. E.g. set_subscription_key(key = "mysubscriptionkeyhere").

key

Either NULL or a string representing the key. NULL is preferable: using it will prompt the user to type the subscription key in a graphical user interface that masks it.

Value

Nothing. Creates / overwrites an environmental variable as a side effect.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Generally, calling set_subscription_key() without the key as an argument is best, 
# as the user can then be prompted to input the key without typing it directly
# into the console, making it more secure and less likely to exposed.
set_subscription_key()

## End(Not run)
