It's a way of consistently detecting bitcoin donations and associating them with an account. The problem is they regect your api key request if your site is "trouble". So the way an api works is you send a message to a url with certain information and they agree to send you messages to a url when they have new information. One of those things you have to send is an api key which is an authorization to access their tools.
So you can totally lie about what site you are using it for. There's no way they would detect. So if you have one site under your belt that won't raise an alarm you can get a key.

Sweet! I'm sure there are plenty of others here like myself who would rather donate anonymously.
