[Feature Request] Creating a list of shared-api-keys for the community #5208

Description of the feature you're suggesting

I am proposing that we should add a section in the document, or link a new page for shared-api-keys As it is crucial for cog creators to use the same key values for shared-api, making a list of existing key and api structures to prevent small differences in api namings

For example it could be something like:

List of existing shared api keys

Twitch API

https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/ API from twitch used to certifying twitch dev applications

key

"twitch"

parameters

"client_id" : client id from twitch "client_secret" : client secret from twitch

YouTube API

...

Anything else?

I can see the thinking here. I'm thinking there'll need to be a bit of discussion around design of how this would look.

For example, I'm thinking this could be something done as a key in the cog's info.json but that would cover the third-party stuff, not the built-in necessarily
