Re: anonymous access via SOAP

I've been thinking about the same thing recently.  Even though we can argue
that for the API to have feature parity with the web version, we should
provide anonymous access, I'm reluctant to enable this without some sort of
API key that can identify a consumer and can allow measuring load and
blocking when necessary.

I'm also in favor of supporting the concept of an API key even for normal
users, and not just for anonymous access.  This is of course until we
support OAuth or something similar.

Thoughts are welcome though...

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, 
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this 
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
