Set VirusTotal API Key

Stores your VirusTotal API key in an environment variable for use by other package functions. Get your API key from https://www.virustotal.com/.

Usage

set_key(api_key = NULL)

Arguments

api_key

VirusTotal API key (character string). Required.

Value

Invisibly returns TRUE on success

Details

The canonical environment variable is VIRUSTOTAL_API_KEY; the historical VirustotalToken is also set for compatibility with code that reads it directly. Setting either variable before loading the package works without calling this function at all.
