Hi, Thomas

Just as Google, Flickr, and others require developers to register and
obtain an API key to use their web services, Elgg has a built-in API
key system. If you ever wanted to expose your REST-like API to
external developers, it would come in handy for tracking who is doing
what. I'm planning on making this more extensible in the next version.

You shouldn't need a user logged in to import data. A permissions
override should allow you to write to the database using the Elgg data
model classes. If you want an example of a permissions override, my
trackbacks plugin should be a simple demonstration of this:
