I think API keys are like a predetermined string that the client sends to the server, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right term.

I remember learning about API keys in class. I'm pretty sure the correct answer is A - a credential that is transmitted unencrypted. That doesn't sound very secure, but I think that's the standard way API keys work.

Okay, let's see. API keys are a way to authenticate with a REST API, so the answer has to be related to that. I'm leaning towards D - a predetermined string that is passed from client to server.
