Securely prompts for and stores the Synthesize Bio API token in the environment. This function uses getPass to securely handle the token input without displaying it in the console. The token is stored in the SYNTHESIZE_API_KEY environment variable for the current R session.

​
Usage

set_synthesize_token(use_keyring = FALSE, token = NULL)

​
Arguments

  • use_keyring: Logical, whether to also store the token securely in the system keyring for future sessions. Defaults to FALSE.
  • token: Character, optional. If provided, uses this token instead of prompting. This parameter should only be used in non-interactive scripts.

​
Returns

Invisibly returns TRUE if successful.

​
Examples

# Interactive prompt for token
set_synthesize_token()

# Provide token directly (less secure, not recommended for interactive use)
set_synthesize_token(token = "your-token-here")

# Store in system keyring for future sessions
set_synthesize_token(use_keyring = TRUE)
