Set up the TOKEN and HOST

You can find your TOKEN by logging into Basecamp

Click on My info found in the top right corner of the website
At the bottom of this page you will see Authentication tokens, click on Show your tokens
Copy the Token for feed readers or the Basecamp API, this goes into the BASECAMP_TOKEN environment variable.

Sys.setenv(BASECAMP_TOKEN = 'MYTOKEN')
Sys.setenv(BASECAMP_HOST  = 'https://metrumresearchgroup.basecamphq.com')
