With regards to System APIs, the tutorial suggests the fetch API to be "getPaste(api_dev_key, api_paste_key)" - I wonder why we ask for the api_dev_key? Shouldn't this be an un-authenticated quota-less API call? I see why add/delete require this parameter but seems best to not ask for it with "get."

Why not. The client can start downloading a lot of pastes, we should have quota limits for all clients.
