We want to publish resources with "privileged" data, e.g. user data, possibly donation details etc. To access privileged information we need authentication and authorization. Tastypie provides a basic framework for this that we can use as a starting point.

Discussions about API keys reached the conclusion that we need API keys both for individual users and for organisations. After some more thought on this I would say API keys bound to organisations is non-trivial at best. The reason for this is that all Django authorization is based on users. There has to be a user account involved whenever we want to access django.auth, i.e. groups and permissions.

Yes, API keys are implemented in 2.1.1. I'll give a more detailed description of it in the docs for the API.
