Hi there I'm unable to activate the API key on windows CMD.
I've tried
export CENSUS_API_KEY=......
Also to no avail below command. As is states API key not present.
censusdatadownloader --year 2018 --data-dir data/external/ race counties
Where should I add the API key in the query above?

I struggled with this for a few hours myself. If you are using the cmd prompt and a package like Anaconda3, try:
set CENSUS_API_KEY=
this will permanently set the variable CENSUS_API_KEY in your environment. I use Anaconda3 and this worked perfectly
