And I need to know. What is a developer’s API key and why would anyone want one?
I have other long hidden questions, but we can discuss those at another time.

It’s used in the development of apps/websites, so as to integrate Woot stuff into them.

Mr. Penguin, why is it always the Letter people who ask for one? I seem to expect most of them to be bots.

Research is still being conducted on that.

Used for identification and authentication of a resource. If you got an app to use woot’s resources then they want to know who is using/abusing them.
You’re not very nice. I thought that it was something to do specifically with Woot, otherwise I would have looked it up myself.
Sorry to have taken up your precious time. Next time don’t bother to help me.
You now know more than your initial post.
- What an ‘API’ is.
- How it is generally used.
- It is a programming concept not uniquely developed by Woot.
- There is more information out there.
Please spare me your mock keyboard outrage that someone would do the basic research for you. Snoochie boochies!
