Request example sketch for local use of API key

Please setup an example for MKR 1010 (using WiFiNINA) v (WiFi) that has an API key for local authentication.

The arest.io website is not working.

the function rest.setKey(key,client) does not seem to work. [no matching function for call to 'aREST::aREST(PubSubClient&)']

I am not sure what this construct does:

// Clients
WiFiClient espClient;
PubSubClient client(espClient);

I have the API working with id and name:

// Setup RESET API
// Give name and ID to device (ID should be 6 characters long)
 rest.set_id("008");
 rest.set_name("unlaiden_swallow");

Platform: MKR 1010 OSX IDE (1.8.2) arest 2.9.0
