+1 for "Get a unique API key for each deployment." Could even be used in conjunction with the proxy, giving you a [limited] ability to disable naughty keys/clients.

Very in-depth response. Unfortunately, I am only assigned one private API key so asking the user to fetch a key is not possible, as I am under NDA with the network protocols, thus the reason for a private key. The proxy is probably also out the the question. I may just have to resort to somehow turning it into a non-human readable format and putting it somewhere in the source - not a great option, but there's not many options left.

@Spencer "The proxy is probably also out the the question" Why? That seems absurd, and distributing the key will also likely violate your NDA.
