No way to use pre-existing API key

[tennisgent]

What's the point of having a .getAPIKey(...) method if you still have to hard code a username and password into the code in order to retrieve it? Why not just call .login(...) instead?

I need a way to set an API key that I've already pull from Workfront. Something like:

instance.setAPIKey('bjrm6v5ef79zpe3...qe8go');
instance.search('optask', {...}, ['*'])
    .then(data => ...)
    .catch(err => ...);

Any idea when we could expect something like that? I know a current workaround is:

instance.httpParams.apiKey = 'bjrm6v5ef79zpe3...qe8go';
instance.search('optask', {...}, ['*'])
    .then(data => ...)
    .catch(err => ...);

But that's a less than elegant...
