I know the API thingy is not trivial and I wish I could remove the need of creating one, as it should only be a developer problem and there is a need for only one key for everybody.

Regarding interruptions, I would really recommend you upgrade you LMS LMS 7.7, 7.8 and 7.9 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
