It is very common to see API keys in urls for access to what are essentially flat files. Thus, fairly trivial to change from:

https://127.0.0.1/file.csv

to

https://127.0.0.1/file.csv?apikey=abc123

This could allow client specific quotas, and easy adoption with maintained projects in minutes. Thus, defective and out-of-maintenance projects would need manually updated or get a 404.
