API Key
We are developing a desktop application that will use the Podio API. Is there any reason that each end user could not or should not generate their own API key (and then it would get stored in the application config file)? I am concerned about the rate limits and since this is a desktop application, we have no way of knowing how many calls are being made. We figured the average would be 20 rate limited calls per user per week. But some may be much higher. Thanks

Hi Charles,
The intent is that the developer (you) sets up the API key, and that the end user (your users) authorises with this API key. This represents the relationship that the user is acting through your application. If it turns out that rate limits are an issue, and you're using the API appropriately, then you can apply for an increased rate limit.
Best,
Andreas
