Indico provides an HTTP API that allows anybody to export Indico data into many different formats. Up to now, an API Key was mandatory in order to query Indico's database, whether requesting public information or restricted content.

From now on, that API Key will not be required anymore to export data related to public events. On the other hand, it will still be mandatory when exporting restricted data, as well as the corresponding signature based on the user's secret key.

Users do not need to apply any change to their scripts, everything will continue working as usual.

We hope this change will make life easier for many of our API users, who need to fetch information from Indico and disseminate it through different media.
