Authentication

[OVazquezVillegas]

library(wosr)

Save your WoS API username and password in environment variables

Sys.setenv(WOS_USERNAME = "your_username", WOS_PASSWORD = "your_password")

Get session ID

sid <- auth()

If I have an apiKey to use the API Lite service, I cannot use this type of authentication because I do not have a username and password. Is there a way to authenticate myself only with an apikey (simillar to Scopus)?

Hi @OVazquezVillegas , sorry, the wosr package is only for the extended version of the API (not the lite version).
