 * Hey,
   Is it really necessary to display “api key missing” and with red color in
   the adminn bar? Since it is just an optional thing, would be nice to remove it
   from there.

 * What do you suggest as notification to inform user about problems with API key?
 * For some users of plugin is valid API key critical (In the past another user 
   reported, that he needs in case of any problem with API key big red notification
   on every admin page.)

 * Add it as optional setting? Or show it only if user has inserted api before or
   even better, only if API is inserted, do not show anything if it’s empty.
 * And if you don’t want that, at least give option to hide link from admin bar 
   completely. It would be also very welcomed for the usecase when it is only meant
   for web admin and not for owner of the site, to keep it clean for the owner.
