I would prefer both such external scripts and gnucash would see the same API key so the user has to set it only once in one location. And I was thinking wider than gnucash as well. This API key is really something internal to Finance::Quote so there may be other applications depending on it though I have no concrete examples for that. As an analogy aqbanking manages a number of settings we allow the user to set from within gnucash. They are not stored with the gnucash settings though, but in the $HOME/.aqbanking directory. That allows for other applications to use the same settings (like eg KMyMoney).
