RESCRIPt get-ncbi-data: is there a way to specify the users NCBI key?

Firstly, thanks so much for this tutorial and tool! It's genuinely exactly what I've been needing lately.

One question about querying NCBI using get-ncbi-data: is there a way to specify the users NCBI key? I think I remember from other NCBI tools that this helps the query speed, and also reduces the chances of the NCBI servers getting grumpy when a big query is made.

Hi @hemprichbennett,

I assume you are referring to this? Currently this is not implemented in get-ncbi-data. You can submit an issue here.
