How to make a Stack Exchange API call, using my key

Question

I have a Meteor application and I'm making API calls like:

var urlString = "http://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/users/"+surl; HTTP.call ("GET", urlString, {params:{site:"stackoverflow"}}, function (error,result) { console.log (result.data); } ); 

At present I'm getting quota-limited to 300 calls only.
But I want more than 300 and I have an application key.

How do I request, using the API key, so I can get 10,000 calls per day?

It's pretty simple, you just append your key to the URL as a parameter.
For example, looking for users 1 and 5:

http://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/users/1;5?site=stackoverflow&key=YOUR_KEY_HERE 

So, it looks like your HTTP.call would become:

HTTP.call ( "GET", urlString, {params:{site:"stackoverflow", key:"YOUR_KEY_HERE"}}, function (error,result) { console.log (result.data); } );
