API Keys
What is an API keys?
An application programming interface key is a unique identifier used to authenticate a user, developer, or calling program to an API. However, they are typically used to authenticate a project with the API rather than a human user. Different platforms may implement and use API keys in different ways.

Why do I need an API key?
- API keys identify an application’s traffic for the API producer, in case the application developer needs to work with the API producer to debug an issue or show their application’s usage. You want to control the number of calls made to your API. You want to identify usage patterns in your API’s traffic.
