Set secret ECMWF token

Saves the token to your local keychain under a service called "ecmwfr".

wf_set_key(key, user = "ecmwfr")

Arguments

key

token provided by ECMWF

user

user (email address) used to sign up for the ECMWF data service, if only a single user is needed it defaults to ("ecmwfr").

Value

It invisibly returns the user.

Details

In systems without keychain management set the option keyring_backend to `file` (i.e. options(keyring_backend = "file")) in order to write the keychain entry to an encrypted file. This mostly pertains to headless Linux systems. The keychain files can be found in ~/.config/r-keyring.
