I just got an app api key. My project is open sourced on github if I commit the part wich exploit tmdb API via wrapper the app key will be exposed. Is it allowed or no ? Or do I have to make the app key a config object
thanks for your inputs.

For something like this, I would make it a config object and require your users to get their own key.

Well, the one thing to remember is that all it would take is one of the people who downloaded your project to abuse our API in some way and your entire app (every single user who downloaded it) would be taken offline if the API key got revoked.
