Depending on which library you're using, you will likely need to send an HTTP_REFERER header as well, which will require a valid website. Generally, we recommend setting up - at the very least - a single page on a free hosting service. This page should contain some basic information about your non-web application, including a way to contact you in the event that something goes wrong and Google needs to contact you. You can then use this page's URL to generate your API key.
All of that said, you should be advised of two things: The API key is not actually required for the AJAX APIs family. This includes Search, Feeds, Language, etc. Most of the AJAX APIs family has been deprecated, including Search (e.g., Web, Image, Local) and Language. This means that, while Google will continue to support them, the support will be minimal. And you can expect the services to be discontinued at some point prior to May 2014. Notably, the Language API will be shut down in December 2011. The successors to these services do require API keys, but they are NOT the same eys that you can obtain through the old signup form. Instead, you need to utilize the API Console to activate these services. You can check that out at http://code.google.com/apis/console Jeremy R.
