Google AJAX RSS feed

Do I need a key?

[Broadway]

I have used the Google AJAX RSS feed wizard to create their javascript code to insert into my html pages. Everything works great.

In the code I see this line:

<!-- Google Ajax Api
-->
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=notsupplied-wizard"
type="text/javascript"></script>

Do I need to insert a key number? (Actually I have one although I don't know where to find it in my Google account).

Is there a reason I want to or don't want to (or should or shouldn't) insert a key number?

The Google AJAX Feed API lets you download any public Atom or RSS feed using only JavaScript. You do not need a key to use this API. Using a key in your application/site is completely optional. However, it is useful to have one. Here is why - when a key is present, if we detect any problem or issue that involves your application/site, with a key in hand, we will attempt to contact you. If we do not have a key, we have no way to contact you should something go wrong.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Now I see that I really posted this thread in the wrong section. Thanks again.
