interface HasApiKey<O : Api.ApiOptions?>
Known indirect subclasses
Anything that has an ApiKey.
This is used to allow GoogleApi-based clients to be exposed via interface instead of subclass. Those interfaces can be declared as extending this, and GoogleApi's will automatically fulfill the interface.
