Does dogshell require an application key?

[mwarkentin]

It appears that we must provide an application key in our .dogrc config. I'm wondering if this is necessary if we're only using dogshell to send events / metrics? My understanding is that an API key should be sufficient for this and wondering if that requirement could be loosened if that is the case.

assert self["api_key"] is not None and self["app_key"] is not None
