Your authentication details
All authentication with the BrandsEye API is done via a special, user specific key. This key can be provided to you by your account manager.
It's possible to also have your key saved to disc and automatically loaded
for you when you next use the library. Set the save parameter to TRUE
in order to do this.
If you would like to see who you are currently logged in as, see the
whoami() function.
