NYT API Usage
This project requires the usage of the New York Times article search API. Request a key at developer.nytimes.com. You'll need to set your NYT API key as a system environment variable. Open the file ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile if the .bashrc doesn't exist) in any Unix based system (Mac, Ubuntu, etc), and add the following two lines to the end of the file:
# Setting NYT API Key as an environment variable
export NYT_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY_HERE"
Where YOUR_KEY_HEREis your NYT API key, enclosed in quotes.
This is necessary for requesting relevant links for a potential entity's anomalies.
