If I understand the question, which isn't always the case, you don't need a key to do any of that on localhost. But you can have a key and it can be any key. So I just use the key that I will end up using on my live server. That way I don't have to change the file when I upload.
You can prove this by downloading one of the sample files that someone else has posted and that includes their key...should work fine on your local machine, but won't work if you upload it to your public server.
