Bad title, but API key access API seems even worse ;)

There was some discussion a while back about an API for configuring, setting up, etc.. API keys.

What I really want is a way to determine what access a specific API key has. Currently I make requests against all relevant publishers as I can't know what access someone does doesn't have. However this is quite inefficient and it would be great if I could find out before I start the grab which publishers are accessible for the given key (or if no key is specified).

Good idea - we were just talking about something similar to this yesterday. We have an admin interface for key config close to being ready. So maybe we can expose some of the same endpoints for use via the main API.

That would be really useful. Currently my script is running slow (unless I manually configure to disable pubs I know I cannot access) and also outputs warnings due to be rejected for the schedule.json requests for publishers that cannot be accessed (which would potentially alarm users).

My plan would be to query for the API key which publishers are supported, which would be used to restrict the set I query. This also needs to work where the API key is empty, i.e. what can be accessed with NO api key.
