If I am working with multiple developers and they each have their own unique API access with their accounts. As another way of getting around some of the API restrictions...  anyone think it is ok to use multiple API keys for a single application, just switching between them as they run out of requests?

Isn't the limit per user, not API key?

If you are creating an application which has multiple users, please use the limit per user. You shouldn't need per API Key, we only check versus IP address failing per User.

Nope! All users of the MyEmpire iPhone app are using the same API key.
