The purpose of this parameter is spam protection, so let's name it antispam_token instead, or similar.

Otherwise it appears like a third type of API access mechanism alongside the Discourse Admin API and User API access types. And also if named auth_key people might be concerned about storing it in a JavaScript application as it will be accessible inside the browser.
