            @lampi from the api/readme

            Providing an API key is recommended; however, remains optional.

            its for apps connecting to mirror… force THEM to have the api key…

            additionally

            If you ran the installer.sh script when you installed the module, a non-canoical UUID is generated for you to use; you can use this unique code,

            or use any string you wish.

            so, YOU make up the key string

              the API key is for security - you don’t need it if you’re not needing that extra layer of security for remote control.

              The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"
