It's easy to understand why they do this
You cant call it open source when you need a goddamn API key from a server to do it, because wheres that api generator algorithm?
If it's truly open source you can always host it yourself. But if you want the convenience of using someone else server then you will need an API key and pay if you reach a certain usage limit.
Yeah exactly, the assumption is that if they gice you the api key generator, but most with API key requirements dont unfortunately
It is, but also easy to understand why I avoid it.
