Fetch a development API key

For easy testing of mobile apps and other clients and against uKnowva Messenger development servers, we support fetching a uKnowva Messenger API key for any user on the development server without authentication (so that they can implement analogues of the one-click login process available for uKnowva Messenger development servers on the web).

Note: This endpoint is only available on uKnowva Messenger development servers; for obvious security reasons it will always return an error in a uKnowva Messenger production server.
