Install a MISTRAL API KEY in Your .Renviron File for Repeated Use

mistral_api_key.Rd

This function will add your Mistral API key to your .Renviron file so it can be called securely without being stored in your code. After you have installed your key, it can be called any time by typing Sys.getenv("MISTRAL_API_KEY") and will be automatically called in package functions. If you do not have an .Renviron file, the function will create one for you. If you already have an .Renviron file, the function will append the key to your existing file, while making a backup of your original file for disaster recovery purposes.

Usage

mistral_api_key(key, overwrite = FALSE, install = FALSE)

Arguments

key

The API key provided to you from Mistral formated in quotes. A key can be acquired at https://console.mistral.ai/api-keys/

overwrite

If this is set to TRUE, it will overwrite an existing MISTRAL_API_KEY that you already have in your .Renviron file.

install

if TRUE, will install the key in your .Renviron file for use in future sessions. Defaults to FALSE.

Examples


if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
mistral_api_key("111111abc", install = TRUE)
# First time, reload your environment so you can use the key without restarting R.
readRenviron("~/.Renviron")
# You can check it with:
Sys.getenv("MISTRAL_API_KEY")
} # }

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# If you need to overwrite an existing key:
mistral_api_key("111111abc", overwrite = TRUE, install = TRUE)
# First time, reload your environment so you can use the key without restarting R.
readRenviron("~/.Renviron")
# You can check it with:
Sys.getenv("MISTRAL_API_KEY")
} # }
