Hi Diane,
You need to set up a server on your local machine. When you do this,
you can test your local site by going to http://localhost/projectName.
When you type http://localhost into your web browser, it looks for the
server that is running on your local machine.
There are a few different ways to do this. Apache is a very popular,
open source server that you can install. If you have windows you can
use IIS. I have found XAMP Lite to be a very easy way to get a local
dev environment up and running, but it will also install php and
MySQL.
Once you get the local server up and running, you can sign up for an
api key with the url http:localhost.
Hope this helps.
