Do I need to generate a new API key for a web app?

Hi Travis,
I currently have an API key for our iOS app and I am working on a small web app that works together with the iOS app.
Do i need to request a new api key for the web app or it is okay to use the same api key?
Cheers,

Hey hosam,
It's your call. Usually I recommend a second key in case one gets suspended but knowing your app, that's highly unlikely to ever happen. Another potentially useful difference is the splitting of usage stats. You might appreciate having the iOS traffic logged separately so you have a good idea of that specific usage.
Your call really, guess that's what I am saying :D

okay awesome. I think I will stick with one API key for now since it is a very simple call. If we do something more complex I will request a new one I think :).
Thanks a lot Travis!
Cheers,
