Fast Routing with osrm R package

Question

Great project. I wonder if it is possible to setup the osrm package to use the Fast Routing API to process the routing queries?
It is possible to manually set the osrm server, but I'm not sure if it is possible to add the API key.
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/osrm/osrm.pdf

Any suggestions on how this can be done?

Thanks.

Hello Andreas,

have you tried to trick the osrm R package into accepting an api key by e.g. using

osrm.server="https://fast-routing.p.rapidapi.com/"

and than calling osrmRoute with an expanded overview param to smuggle the rapidapi-key param into the request, e.g. by using osrmRoute(.... overview = "full&rapidapi-key=YOUR-KEY-FROM-RAPIDAPI")?

This may work in using the API endpoint for osrmRoute in the osrm R package.
