Except this change i will be making to some of the scrapers which need an api-key as this dll will be in use by multiple programs i will be adding a Api Key setting to those scrapers that use api's that require one
i would rather the authors of these site be able to track useage as the api key was meant to enable - and i wouldn't want to piss off any api managers either as most of them specify 1 api-key per program.mind you the default apikey will still be kept in this setting, i just suggest the first time a program uses scraperxml, to get thier own specific api key or not, its a choice, but mind you the heat is off my back from any api managers
This will not break compatibility with XBMC as the apikey will be a text setting that will be replaced with the $INFO[api-key] reference.
The default one will be the XBMC api-key, but i STRONGLY suggest each implementing program aquire thier own api-keys for each scraper site so as not to foster any ill-will.
