Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(basecamper)

Set up the TOKEN and HOST

You can find your TOKEN by logging into Basecamp

• Click on My info found in the top right corner of the website
• At the bottom of this page you will see Authentication tokens, click on Show your tokens
• Copy the Token for feed readers or the Basecamp API, this goes into the BASECAMP_TOKEN environment variable.

Sys.setenv(BASECAMP_TOKEN = 'MYTOKEN')
Sys.setenv(BASECAMP_HOST  = 'https://mycompany.basecamphq.com')

Whoami

Checking that the token and host are set right and get back your account info with the whoami function

basecamper::whoami()
