Check the status of the OSF API server.
Usage
osf_api_check(osf_api = getOption("papercheck.osf.api"))Details
The OSF API server is down a lot, so it's often good to check it before you run a bunch of OSF functions. When the server is down, it can take several seconds to return an error, so scripts where you are checking many URLs can take a long time before you realise they aren't working.
You can only make 100 API requests per hour, unless you authorise your requests, when you can make 10K requests per day. The osf functions in papercheck often make several requests per URL to get all of the info. You can authorise them by creating an OSF token at https://osf.io/settings/tokens and including the following line in your .Renviron file:
OSF_PAT="replace-with-your-token-string"
