API key setup
1. Go to https://www.kaggle.com/ and sign in
2. Click Account or navigate to
https://www.kaggle.com/{username}/account
3. Scroll down to the API section and click
Create New API Token (which should cause you to download a
kaggle.json file with your username and API key)
4. Save the kaggle.json file in a location
you can easily locate the path for such as the Downloads/
folder
5. Copy the kaggle.json file to
~/.kaggle/kaggle.json
- There is a helper function,
kgl_auth_file_setup()that takes the path of the savedkaggle.jsonfile and copies it to the required directory
6. Thats it! When calling any of the
kaggler functions the authorization function will check
for that file and create an environment variable,
KAGGLE_PAT, in your .Renviron file
- You can view and edit the .Renviron with
usethis::edit_r_environ()
