Er, if you're getting a message saying that you need one, then you need one. If you're using "localhost" or a file: protocol, then the API doesn't need a key; but services like directions and geocoding do. And the API doesn't officially support loading pages across a network with a private IP address. You might get it to work, but probably not.
