Why do I need an API Key?

Micello requires you to include a valid API key when you make programmatic calls to the Micello APIs. You can request a key in the Developer Portal >> Keys area.

To use this key: when your application instantiates a call to the Micello API, one of the required parameters is the API Key. Use your API key as that parameter.

For example, in the Javascript code, the method is:

micello.maps.init(YOUR_API_KEY,mapInit);

You would replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you received from Micello.

Typically, you would request a "developer" key to use while there is active work happening on an application. However, the developer keys have very limited usage available, so a "production" key is required before an application goes live to ensure uninterrupted service.
