the section in the api documentation which describes the http request parameters includes an entry for the authentication key.
as an alternative, the http test suite (https://github.com/dydra/http-api-tests) demonstrates its use extensively. in brief, if the authentication header (or curl --user) specifies a password, but no user, that is taken to be the authentication key.
The 'API Authentication' entry in the docs sidebar used to link to a page describing how to use API keys for authentication, but it currently points to the top-level API docs.
It's not clear whether the behaviour is intended and, if that is indeed the case, how to use API keys for authentication or if they still supported.
