Can't use API in standalone apps?

    Is it allowed to use the API in standalone apps (that users
    download and run from their hard-drive)?

    I can't see a way to do that and comply with the terms-of-use
    stipulation that says "keep the API key confidential". Would
    obfuscating/encrypting the API key in the binary be sufficient?

    I think this would rule out writing the app in an interpreted
    language like perl or ruby.

    Pardon our delayed response.

    You are welcome to use the JamBase API in a stand-alone App, so long as the APIKEY is obscured.

    Please let us know when your app is completed so we can feature it!
