I've generated an API Key, but I get always an authentication error, saying that the key isn't valid and such!!

I guess we can't use a "localhost" url while testing?
And like others, a real website url shows the same error.
As I thought this to be an official tutorial, I would expect answers to other members comments. So I am thinking this will be a waste of time (yet again).

This is terribly out of date since they decided to completely change the UI for the enabling/disabling of things and the key generation.
