Hey Omr, Thanks for bringing up these questions and I am sure Adam will also provide a response as well, but my current understanding on this is that it should still work with out a key but will be greatly limited in the number of queries it's able to perform (as they tighten their enforcement rules). ie. intended for development as keyless. As for that particular API/feature I am still not sure myself exactly what limits are going to be placed on it and when, but I believe there is a bit of a grace period but am sure that will be rate limited soon as well.
