I'll give you my API key, in the name of trust, if you give me the API key of everybody I am expected to trust, ie, everybody in your alliance.
See how it doesn't seem to work the other way around. Keep your alliance. It's not worth it.
This tbh.
I'm going to agree here. Trust is a two way street. If API keys are no big deal and you expect them from recruits. Then you should give each recruit the api keys to the ceo and all directors of your corp/alliance in return.
The corp is trying to defend itself against undesirable characters.
You dont imagine part of that will be just giving a nw recruit all the director API keys do you?
However this is a perfect partnership, you dont want to give out your limited API key, they dont want you.
Whats the problem?

well if you are talking about two bit, mom and pop and alt corp then prolly no reason for them to ask for an API key.
However the rather larger more established corps need to do everything they can to protect their members.
There are a lot of people out there who derive fun attempting to ruin other peoples game and a vigilant CEO will do everything in their power to ensure they dont end up in their corp.
Really though, its simple, you dont want to give out your key, dont.
Most of you saying you will not are saying you would not want to join a corp that asked you for a key.
They dont want you, you dont want them.
Its just another way a corp weeds out the people it does not want.

And why not? If you think that asking a limited api key is no big deal then you should be willing to give yours or any other from your corp to the one you are requesting it from, if he/she asks for it. Otherwise it probably is a big deal and unwise for a possible recruit to give it in the first place, right? 
Because the corp is trying to protect itself against spies.
Think it can do that buy giving out all its information everyime someone asks for it?
That would be a silly dont you think? right?

API keys is one of a battery of methods of screening.
Anyone denying its usefulness is not fully aware of the facts.
Anyone suggesting its used in isolation is not too bright.
Anyone suggesting directors just hand over their API keys to any potential recruit on a "you show me yours i'll show you mine basis" cannot be very aware of the difference between a director API and an individuals API.
I am guessing most of these people are not running corps and probably best they never do.
However this bottom line is this.
If a corp asks you for a limited API key as part of its recruitment process you have every right to say no.
It does not matter what their reasons are for asking, it does not matter what your reasons are for refusing.
You wanted to join the corp and all the benefits you imagined would accrue.
