You should not run on CRAN. Note that the checks are done almost daily
oin several platforms, hence the API key is used for about 10 check runs
a day.

Hi
I have a package at GitHub (https://github.com/rkrug/ROriginStamp) which I am
pre[paring for CRAN.
It creates a trusted timestamp using the API fro OriginStamp
(https://originstamp.org/home) which requires an API key. Now this API should
not be made public, as to much traffic through one API key will lead to it’s
blocking.
I have stored the key encrypted in the travis.yml, and the package passes all
tests.
But if I send it to CRAN, it would fail the tests, as the api key is not in the
package itself.
I could disable all tests for CRAN which need the API key, but I think it would
be better tu run the tests there as well (as an additional check to travis).
My question:
Is there a way of storing the API key encrypted, so that only the CRAN test
servers can decrypt it, or is there another way can steal with this?
Thanks,
Rainer
