What does "third-party requests" mean?

The reason we got started discussing this criterion, A+ 0, saying "no
authentication requirement", is that I forwarded a proposal to move it
to level B.

The requirememt that the site function fully if the user blocks some
JavaScript is currently criterion A 0.  I think we can leave it there.

Fischers, you said something about API keys.  You're probably right,
but I don't have a clear picture of what this means -- because an API
key is a mechanism rather than a description of a behavior.

What bad thing does an API key do in this situation?
