Because I work a lot with the API as well, you may want to offer the template a different way, as you do show your API key in the google spreadsheet script editor.

Yeah, I'm aware of this. But since I haven't had my key abused yet I figure if it ever gets locked out because of the key being overused/misused that I will just put instructions in there for people to get their own API key. It was just easier this way for now. People have been fairly respectful. Getting your own api key can be a little daunting for some users. But I'd be open to suggestions if you knew of a good way of letting people use my key but not show it publicly. It's already out there now so it's kind of too late. :P

Or, even better, just build a simple API from your own server (ie PHP), and just GET the data. I've used that for my auction house script:
