Hi. We considered adding a csv upload option in the past, but discarded that idea. There are at least a dozen different stumbling apps out there, each one of them with a different data format, ranging from csv files, to sqlite database to xml files.
If you want to contribute data gathered in a different app to us, you'll need to convert the data yourself and send it to us via our geosubmit batch API (http://mozilla-ichnaea.readthedocs.org/en/latest/api/index.html#geosubmit). If you have some code to do so, best put it up somewhere as open-source code, so others might use it or contribute to it as well. As for the api key part, you don't need an api key to send data to us and if you are an individual contributor, we'd prefer if you didn't use any api keys for submission. We do store the uploaded data by api key, so if we have one api key for a single person, that would allow us to determine their movements fairly easily - something we definitely don't want to do or even be able to do. We only use api keys for submission to differentiate popular apps from each other, so we can report back problems to the right app or add service side workaround for client side problems. We also get broad stats from this to see which app is most popular and is submitting the most data to us. So if you want to develop an app for personal use, just let it submit data without specifying any api key.
