Fetch an API key (development only)

For easy testing of mobile apps and other clients and against Zulip development servers, we support fetching a Zulip API key for any user on the development server without authentication (so that they can implement analogues of the one-click login process available for Zulip development servers on the web).

Note: This endpoint is only available on Zulip development servers; for obvious security reasons it will always return an error in a Zulip production server.
