Hi, i am currently developping an_ iOS shortcut_that uses the TMDB API. I know from experience that including a "registration" step often leads user to give up on the shortcut (which is sad). I would like to know ; if I store the API key i was given when i created my application at https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api directly in the shortcut (means every user will act on the behalf of my API Key) is that allowed ? If not, could it be if i include a disclosure statement at the very first use of the sortcut that states that the user will be responsible of what he does with the API Key outside the shortcut usecase ?

Thank you very much, m3dus4.

Any answer ? I need to know if it is okay to do that.

Hi @m3dus444,

It's fine if every user is using your API key, I think the bigger question or issue is whether that key is public (in a GitHub repo for example) or not.
